ONE IN A MILLION: A rare blue lobster was caught by a pair of Sea Isle City fisherman last week. The 1.5 pound lobster was estimated to be 7 to 8 years old, and was caught about 85 miles offshore. Brothers Kevin and Eric Burcaw Jr. caught the lobster, and sought an aquarium to house the rare specimen. Adventure Aquarium in Camden said it would keep and display the blue lobster right next to Elvis—another blue lobster already living there. Eric Burcaw, Sr. said he’d never seen a blue lobster in four decades of fishing. Thanks to the Burcaws and Adventure Aquarium, the rest of us will have a chance to see him, too.
