(Salisbury, MA) - A trio of orange lobsters has become quite a curiosity since arriving at a Massachusetts fish market. The must-see seafood is drawing quite a crowd, as the chances of just one of the lobsters being orange are estimated at one in 30 million.
The color is caused by a genetic mutation. Experts say the rare pigmentation is not a sign of disease.
The lobsters, two male and one female, were shipped in from Canada.
The home of the lobsters, David’s Fish Market, says they will either let the lobsters go or maybe give them to an aquarium.
