Jeff Schroeder Frees Rare Albino Lobster To Gloucester Harbor Video

Jeff Schroeder who just yesterday started his journey for CBS “Around The World For Free” had a choice- Eat The Lobster or Free The Lobster.  Two envelopes with two very different outcomes for the rare crustacean. If he chose to Free The Lobster he would have to walk the Greasy Pole In Gloucester Harbor.

For those of you wondering the fate of the extremely rare albino lobster that we had landed at our dock at Captain Joe and Sons in Gloucester Ma, watch to see what becomes of the rare crustacean.

Albino Lobster Landed At Captain Joe and Sons Video

This is just way too much of a coincidence to have two incredibly rare lobsters landed in the same week.  I wonder if it has to do with warm water temperatures

Unbelievable! Twice In One Week! Only The Second Albino Lobster We’ve Ever Landed Out of Probably 10 Million

This Albino Was landed Today.  Out of probably (I’m guessing 10 million) lobsters I’ve seen landed at our dock over the years this is only the second total albino one I’ve seen.

To top it all off it gets landed in the same week as the triple pincher clawed lobster we got in on Saturday.  I wonder if the warm water is making these mutated lobsters more active because it is way too much of a coincidence. HD video coming in about an hour or two.

The Boston Herald Gives Good Morning Gloucester Some Love

Shell-shocked! 3-pincered freak amazes lobsterman

By Laurel J. Sweet
Monday, July 19, 2010 –

Coming to a picnic table near you: Claws – the lobster that can squeeze its own lemon juice.

Capt. Joey Ciaramitaro has seen all manner of life on the docks of Gloucester, but he had to pinch himself Saturday when a triple-pincered freak of nature was delivered to Captain Joe & Sons wholesale lobster company.

“We’ve had blue lobsters before, half-albino lobsters before. It’s the first triple-pincer I’ve ever seen,” said Ciaramitaro, who videotaped the 2 -pound lobster flexing its all-you-can-eat noncomformity for his blog, GoodMorningGloucester.wordpress.com … which is now hosting a crustacean oddity show.

For the rest of the story click here to go directly to the story with a pic on the Herald website

Laurel got 90% of the story right.  So many reporters no matter how many times I try to stress it want to either call me a Captain or a lobsterman.  I guess it makes for a better story if it sounds like it is coming from the lobsterman rather than the shlep on the dock.

Update:

WBZ Radio just called for a radio interview.  First question after I had just told the producer that I was a lobster dealer and not a lobsterman was “So where were you fishing when you pulled up this crustacean in your pots?”

OY!!!!!!!
