A BRITISH fisherman has caught a rare blue lobster off the coast of Cornwall. Chris Puckey hauled in the crustacean while out on his boat the Katytu over the weekend.

Blue lobsters are so rare that experts believe only one in every two million are caught.

That meant the fisherman could have made a small fortune selling the creature, but instead he decided to give it a lifeline.

"We thought about putting it back in the sea but decided it would probably just end up in someone’s pot, or even get eaten by another lobster! So after a quick phone call to a local aquarium, it’s now going to live out its days in a beautiful natural sea water tank, safe from predators," he said.
