Denny Ingram was a lucky man last week. He caught a yellow lobster – a 1-in-30 million chance. The very rare yellow lobster was caught in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay. Lobsterman Denny Ingram found the lobster in one of his pots last week. It is golden on the top and bright yellow on both sides.
Another colored lobster was caught off the coast of New Hampshire last year. It was a blue lobster and the change is 1-in-5 million. The rarest of them all is the white lobster caught off Cape Cod in 2004 and change to caught one is 1-in-100 million.
It’s also apparently good luck for this lobster, who will not be heading to anyone’s dinner table. Ingram says he plans to keep the yellow lobster on display at the fishermen’s co-op at the State Pier in Newport.
