Joe and Son's received another mutant lobster this week when a large lobster with triple pincher's was delivered to their dock in Gloucester by a local fisherman. How can you be sure the lobster you're eating is safe to eat and chemical free?Captain Joe and Son's showed off the lobster who has a triple pincher on his one of his claws but not enough hinges for all three pincher's to work independently of each other.
This isn't the first mutant lobster that this fresh seafood selling business has seen since they opened their doors over fifty years ago. With the pollution in the ocean it is probably not the last one they will see at their dock either.
The family owned business has been documenting these crippled and crusty crustaceans for years and when questioned about the frequency of these deformed lobsters, Captain Joe said "I've seen double pincher clawed lobsters, I've seen triple and quadruple clawed crabs, albino lobsters, half blue lobsters, all blue lobsters, yellow lobsters, speckled lobsters, you name it but never one with a claw like this.
The triple claw is a rare deformity only seen a few times in waters off the coast of Massachusetts. It joins the likes of the Siamese twin lobster in rare or never before seen anomalies in the lobster species.
Lobster aren't the only seafood experiencing bizarre abnormalities, the crabs have also produced many odd and bizarre specimen for fishermen to talk about and share with the scientific research community.
