BOSTON -- A lobsterman in Gloucester had an unusual catch in his trap last week -- an albino lobster.
The 2.15 pound lobster was caught last Friday and delivered to the wholesalers at Captain Joe and Sons.
Co-owner Joey Ciaramitaro said the peculiar lobster is the second albino he's handled in years of working the docks.
Marine experts estimated about 1 in 100 million lobsters is albino.
The same lobster crew pulled up a lobster with a triple pincer claw earlier this month.
The rare catch was first reported by
