Ricky Greenhowe, a 47-year-old fisherman who has been fishing off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland, since he was a youngster, has captured the rarest of the rare, and he had to pinch himself to believe he had caught a blue lobster — the odds of catching one are estimated to be two-million-to-one. Greenhowe grabbed the 3lb lobster, and in a Facebook post, he posted some amazing photos of the rare blue lobster with the remark, "One in a million chance they say."

Greenhowe was fishing on his boat, Skua, when he spotted the striking-looking lobster in a creel—a sort of cage used to catch crustaceans—and reeled it to the surface, as according to reports. Speaking to the media, Greenhowe said, “I spotted it straight away and put him in a box on his own. I have never seen one before, and I have been fishing since I was 14.”

The Scottish fisherman further added that a normal lobster of that size – about 1.5kg (3.3lbs) – would be worth perhaps £25 (Rs 2,530.18). However, Greenhowe has decided that he would offer the lobster to an aquarium or put it back in the sea. He added, “It’s not about the money – it should continue its life. I will phone Macduff Aquarium to see if they want it, if not I will put him back. It’s so rare, it would be a shame to put it in a pot.”

According to National Geographic, the colour of bright blue lobsters is the result of a genetic defect that causes their body to produce too much of a certain protein than others.
