The original article has a nice pic. It says he’s going to an aquarium, not a dinner plate:

Hope they give him a chance to make more yellow lobsters, although picking out the yellow ones from all those that hatch(or whatever lobsters do) would be a intern’s job.

Obama needs to issue a moratorium on all commercial fishing until a solution to this problem is found...

I’ll bet he’d be great with a side of hush puppies, tater tots, and cole slaw.

That is one pretty lobster! Probably better with some nice yellow butter.

Save Larry the Lobster

I quite agree, save him for a special occasion, like the 4th of July, or Thanksgiving, or even Christmas!

“Experts say the genetic feature is very rare, occurring in about 1 in 30 million lobsters.”

But who is counting?

Yellow lobsters are yellow because they come pre-packaged with melted butter...
