Translucent lobsters might look cool,UK but face it: they just don't make good lobster rolls.
Alex Todd of Chebeague Island, Maine, recently caught this very rare creature while on a fishing trip. Translucent lobsters are incredibly challenging to find: chances of nabbing one are quite literally one in a million.
"I’ve never seen a white one. This one was translucent with just a hint of blue in it,” Todd told ABC News.
According to the Maine Cost Fisherman's Association, the lobster probably suffers from a genetic condition known as leucism. Unlike an albino lobster, this lobster only suffers a partial loss of pigment.

"Even if it had been male, it’s an oddity enough that, why cook it for a $4 lobster?” Todd asked.
Also incredibly rare: $4 lobsters. Where is he finding those? And why is he not shipping them to New York for my dinner tonight?
