MANCHESTER, New Hampshire - A rare, brightly coloured lobster was found recently off the Isles of Shoals.

A woman told WMUR her father caught the blue lobster a couple of weeks ago.

She said this was the fourth blue lobster her dad had captured.

The lobster was then taken to Newick’s Lobster House for a few days before it was transferred to the Seacoast Science Center in Rye.

It’s estimated that about one out of one million lobsters is blue.
