Marley Coburn, 8, of Turner, and her brother Brett, 6, inspect Henry Crush the lobster at Shaw’s Supermarket in Auburn on Wednesday afternoon. The rare-colored lobster was discovered Sunday by Nancy Chouinard, who is holding the lobster for the kids, as she was unpacking a shipment. “I have never seen anything like this here,” said store manager Leo Ouellette, who has been at Shaw’s for 38 years and was a seafood specialist for 18 years. Ouellette said Shaw’s would have a specialist look into the rarity of Henry Crush, so named by the employees. As of now, he is an orange-yellow color but is thought to be molting, which means he could end up a very rare red.
“One of the ladies joked, ‘Did it come pre-cooked?’ when we found him Sunday,” said Nancy Chouinard, an employee of Shaw’s Supermarkets in Auburn, after she discovered Henry Crush in a shipment. As of now the lobster is an orange-yellow, but is thought to be molting, so he could end up red in color.
