A very rare Yellow Lobster was caught last week in Narragansett Bay off the coast of Newport, Rhode Island. When Denny Ingram hauled one of his lobster pots in Narragansett Bay’s East Passage last week, he found one lobster unlike any he had ever seen. It was golden on top and bright yellow on the sides. I thought, holy cow, this is unusual. And no one else around here has ever seen anything like it either, said Ingram.
