I’ve been at the dock for 42 years. a long time. I’ve seen probably 6 blue lobsters in my time here but none as blue as the one brought in today and released.



Our lobsterman Mike Tufts catches a rare orange#lobster. If we didn’t shoot the video to show it moving and alive you’d think it was cooked. He returned it to the sea once he let us shoot the video.

We Released The Rare Yellow Lobster We Had At The Dock This Morning After It Had Released Its Eggs While In Our Tank.
About a month ago we released the blue one and the quadruple clawed one for the very same reason. A good lesson for the kids to learn about sustainability in the lobster industry. Hated to see that rare lobster leave the dock but at least my girls got to witness it.

We have more documented mutated lobsters here than any other dock on the planet!
Also makes New England Aquarium’s assertion that their calico lobster was 1 in 30 million sound a bit ridiculous.
This Calico Lobster Landed today Novmber 21 By The Rockport Lobster Boat The Freemantle Doctor and Captain Mike Tupper. The Same Lobster Boat That Will Be Bringing Santa In To Bearskin Neck For Rockports Christmas Celebration!
Here is the third Calico-
It all started here with the poll we posted on June 4th, 2012-
I’m pegging the over/under on number of speckled lobsters that are landed at our dock this year at 3.
Back on June 1st The New England Aquarium declared the Calico Lobster as one in 30 Million which of course we made found of in this post-
we also had a poll in that post and took some good natured shots at The New England Aquarium’s obvious attempt to make the calico lobster they had seem like a much bigger deal than it was-

A couple of weeks ago the New England Aquarium took possession of a calico lobster and was touting it through their marketing efforts as a one in 30 million lobster.
Either the numbers they are using are off or we here at the dock are the luckiest lobster dealers on the planet and should be stocking up on megabucks tickets because we get 2-5 a year.

Yesterday Captain Richie Cassola a retired policeman from Beverly landed a speckled lobster (our second speckled lobster landed this year) of which the New England Aquarium claims are one in 30 million. I predicted the over under at 3 for speckled lobsters landed here at our dock this year way back on June 4th. 2 Down with 4 months to go. I like the over!
and Today Mark and matt Ring from The Stanley Thomas Land a Blue one.
It’s what we do.
Just add it to the already most mutated lobsters documented at one dock anywhere in the world collection- here at Captain Joe and Soons in Gloucester MA.
#Boom!

John Todd Writes In-
Joe,
I forgot to mention when I offloaded yesterday that I had caught an albino lobster in the harbor. I took a few photos with my phone that I thought you might like to see and maybe post on the GMG page. I was going to bring it in but just after I took the last photo a homie dove down and grabbed it off the table, probably thinking it was something other than a lobster due to it’s color. It dropped it just off the back of the boat and out of reach, although I think it was short anyhow. I looked it up and they said it is as rare as 1 in 100 million. I know you had one a while back from Mike Tupper so perhaps they aren’t so rare or they just like to come to Gloucester for the hospitality!
