Rare 1-in-100-Million ‘Cotton Candy’ Lobster Found off the Coast of New Hampshire

A rare genetic mutation gives the crustacean its unique hues but also makes it more vulnerable to predators.

In late July, 25-year-old Atlantic Lobster Company owner Joseph Kramer headed out on his boat with his father and girlfriend. As he checked the contents of his 20 or so traps off the coast of New Castle, New Hampshire, he was shocked to find a mesmerizingly bright-colored lobster inside the very last one. At first, Kramer figured he’d caught a one-in-two-million blue lobster, but he soon found out the bright crustacean at hand was even rarer: He’d captured a 1-in-100-million “cotton candy” lobster. Since the animal met the local guidelines allowing it to be caught, Kramer brought it to the Seacoast Science Center in Rye. There, aquarist Sam Rutka broke the happy news that his catch was a healthy male cotton candy lobster with a “really beautiful kind of a lavender, purple, pink-ish hue,” Rutka tells Seacoastonline’s Ian Lenahan, who first reported the story. In his career spanning more than a decade, Rutka has only worked with 15 cotton candy lobsters...

Oh no my friend and I wanted to move to Pourtsmouth, what’s wrong with NH? Where on the east coast would you recommend instead?

oh honestly portsmouth is fine, it's a lovely town on the seacoast and it has a lot of my favorite things about new hampshire like prescott park and the seacoast repertory theater! like if you asked me for the best place to live within new hampshire i'd tell you portsmouth immediately. (it IS pricey bc it's a seacoast area, but not as pricey as, like, rye NH.)

i come from rural new hampshire which imo is a different beast entirely. the main problem is that the state government is INTENSELY libertarian. it's the most libertarian state in the US with regards to taxes and social policies. afaik it's the only state in the US with no seat belt law and may be the only one with no helmet law for motorcyclists.

people there are either loyal to bernie sanders or donald trump, and when sanders didn't win the democratic nomination in 2016, a LOT of new hampshire sanders supporters switched to trump instead. because the only thing they care about is anti-establishment disruption. not any actual political issues.

classist divides are also very pronounced because new hampshire has two main social classes: wealthy people, who live there for 2 to 3 seasons a year n spend the colder months elsewhere, and poor people, who live there full-time.

like, my hometown is where bridgit mendler's lake house is, and she comes into the one popular local restaurant there all the time and is super sweet and tips really well, she's Loved by everyone there.

but my hometown is ALSO where a lot of very very very poor hicks live and die in complete misery, because you can't get to a doctor without driving for a half hour, you can't access specialists without crossing state lines into boston, there's very little income security, most people are farmers or loggers who aren't paid well at all. alcoholism and opioid abuse are not only rampant but basically just expected, because everyone is in physical pain, the winters are long, financial burdens are shit, depression is rampant, and there's not a lot to do besides work.

and of course. it's the only red state in new england. our governors are invariably more reasonable socially than a LOT of republican governors, because libertarians believe government shouldn't control people's social lives, and overt nazi extremism is unpopular. but the governors are still...... not good.

all of this said: BECAUSE the state government is so libertarian, your experience of new hampshire is EXCLUSIVELY whatever your local government does. like, even more than in other states. portsmouth's local government is fairly progressive, or at least it was when i moved out. the people there are friendly, and it's an actual city with decent infrastructure and medical care, unlike where i grew up.

and if you don't like the culture, it's pretty easy to drive somewhere else, what with portsmouth being so close to both the maine and massachusetts state lines.

NEW FROM FINISHING LINE PRESS: Reaching for the Nightingale by Beth Fox

On SALE now! Pre-order Price Guarantee: https://www.finishinglinepress.com/product/reaching-for-the-nightingale-by-beth-fox/

Beth Fox loves being connected to the arts and the community of #poetry in New Hampshire. Her work is found in The Poet’s Touchstone, The Seacoast Anthology, Covid Springs II and the 2010 Poets Guide to NH. A finalist in four New England contests, she helped seniors publish their work in an anthology, Other Voices, Other Lives. It was during the pandemic that she reflected on experiences, digging deeper. The cover of her chapbook speaks to the longing she felt when putting it together. Often found on the water, Beth kayaked 35 miles on Thoreau’s wilderness route in Maine. That is an example of how she loves exploring… along the way, discovering unique lives in nature, like jumping spiders and skunk cabbage. Beth lives in Wolfeboro.

PRAISE FOR Reaching for the Nightingale by Beth Fox

Beth Fox’s provocative poems cover a lot of ground: geographically, from Tennessee to Mexico and back to New England, and, in terms of content and usage, enlisting participants that range from snapping turtles to George Washington Carver. She captures our attention with striking details and devices (in “After the Fourth Reading…” a crossed-out line is a significant part of the poem) and asks the question “Can a biscuit cure a nightmare?” With great imagination and insight, the poet gives us striking ways to look at our human condition, and, like her character Buster, catches phrases only to let them go.

–Bob Demaree is a widely published author who has several collections of poems, including After Labor Day (2017.

Beth Fox’s chapbook impresses me by both its wide scope of topics and styles, and its unpretentious yet profound insight. Twisting together poems from gun control to family history, learning race at school and at home in Tennessee to meditations on language or Covid, Fox ranges from straight narrative to oblique enigma, with a subtle imagination and delicate feeling for words evident everywhere. There are so many delights in this manuscript.

–Brian Evans-Jones is a widely published poet and teacher who was Poet Laureate of the Hampshire, England In 2017, he won the Maureen Egen Writers Award. He publishes learning resources at The Poetry Place.

On one level, these good poems, at once forthright and lyrical, give us a closely observed country life—quotidian, domestic, multigenerational. And to her portraits of home and village life, she brings what Walter Brueggemann calls a “neighborly compassion.” But there is also a politics of care woven throughout Beth Fox’s work that will not shy away from the social consequences of kindness and cruelty that shape our personal and communal histories. “It doesn’t help to know that some are okay,” says the speaker in the first section of Reaching for the Nightingale. That some are not haunts every poem in this collection.

–Kimberly Cloutier Green, past poet-laureate of Portsmouth, NH and author of The Next Hunger.

Ruth Blay

The last woman executed in New Hampshire was hanged in a slow gruesome public spectacle as a thousand citizens of Portsmouth watched. After numerous delays, Ruth Blay of South Hampton was driven by horsecart to the highest point on South Street, now South Cemetery in Portsmouth. On December 30, 1768 the executioner threw a rope over a newly constructed gallows, placed a noose around Blay’s neck, and withdrew the cart from under her feet.

Ruth Blay did not die instantly. The "short drop" method of hanging usually failed to break the prisoner’s neck, causing a slow death by strangulation. Criminals hanged in this fashion reportedly struggled for up to three minutes and could exhibit a heartbeat for half an hour. Friends or relatives sometimes clung to the victim’s legs to put an end to the suffering. Ruth Blay was not convicted of murder or infanticide, as many still believe, or of "bastardy". She was, technically, the third and final NH woman executed for "concealment" of her illegitimate child, even though most believe that the child was stillborn.

Expect Florida and Texas to pass similar legislation.
