In honor of National Lobster Month Peter's Clam Bar on Long Island freed Louie, a 132 year old 22 pound lobster. Louie has lived the last 30 years or more in a lobster tank at the restaurant and the owner realized when someone wanted to buy Louie last week that it was past time for him to be set free. This is the second time Peter's has released a lobster back into the ocean. Last June Larry the Lobster was released into his natural habitat. An expert was asked what the chances of survival were even though Louie was missing a claw and he said they were good as lobsters have no predators other than man. I'm not certain how long ago it was but a group of people in Florida paid to have a big elderly lobster sold to them so they could ship it to Maine to be released,unfortunately that one died in transit. Happy Father's Day to Louie and all the rest of the Dads out there.
