Catch of a Lifetime: One in a Million 'Cotton Candy' Lobster Found in Maine

Cotton candy lobsters are blue and pink lobster that has fought their way into crustacean history.

If you ask an outsider what Maine conjures up, they would say bone-chilling winters. Forests. Moose. A rugged shore with charming fishing settlements. Bean boots and flannel shirts. There were also lobsters-many lobsters.
