Gladys Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I thought all lobsters were blue, until cooked, that is. Homarus, where are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titanic Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 You would be blue too if you spent all your time in the freezing sea off the IoM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celt Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 We don't know what to do with him. Putting it back in the sea would do for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2yu Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 An interesting thing about lobster blood is that it takes on a bluish tinge when exposed to air because the oxygen carrying molecule is similar to haemoglobin but uses copper rather than iron. Well I thought it was interesting anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homarus Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 " Bev" sounds like he/she doesn't know a lot about lobsters ! The vast majority of Lobsters that you catch are a very dark blue but occasionally you do get very pale blue lobsters , usually when you fish in deeper waters . They should give it to" Cheeky Boy" I'm sure he'll find a use for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
