A FISHMONGERS in Bolton has landed a one in ten million catch after it took delivery of a rare orange lobster.

The crustacean has fast become the star attraction at Salmon Kings, Bolton Market.

Worker Chloe Dawson, who lives in Harwood, said: “I have never seen an orange lobster, I looked on the internet and apparently they are only one in ten million.

“Gaz Birchall took the delivery and noticed it, it was in a tank on its own, but I wanted to find out more so have started reading up on it.

“It is a Canadian lobster and female – I have called her Alex after a girl who has ginger hair

“She works on another stall and was walking by and that inspired me, she is unique too.

“I really like it, it is different and would like to find out more about it.

“People don’t expect lobsters to be orange.

“The lobster is a female and could have orange lobsters too.”

Alex Lowry, aged 19, added: “It is one in ten million and I am too, so I feel good about it being named after me.

“I think it looks really beautiful.”
