A local lobsterman has caught quite a hefty lobster in one of his pots. A publican is there to help carry the lobster on a silver salver. Lobsters are a high value fishery and much prized for their sweet white meat. The lobster weighed nine and a half pounds or almost five kilos. There are several species of lobster which possess unequal specialised claws which can grow to a very large size but in UK coastal waters the European or common lobster is prevalent.
