BEVERLY, Mass. (MyFoxBoston.com) -- In his catch Sunday, a lobsterman pulled in a cerulean crustacean.
Tom Birarelli, who owns and is captain of the F/V Hat Trick estimates the rare blue lobster is about 1.25 pounds.
Birarelli said he'll either find a home for the rare lobster or will release it back into the ocean.
Blue lobsters occur due to a genetic mutation and it's estimated only one out of every 2 million lobsters is blue.
