Fishmongers found a rare blue lobster. Instead of selling it, they found a place it could live a happy life

Fishmongers who found a rare blue lobster decided to spare the cool crustacean and release it instead of selling it. Les Viviers de Noirmoutier, a seafood retailer in France, said in a Facebook post there is a one in 2 million chance to find a blue lobster – and they just happened upon one.

The fish mongers worked with the tourism office on the Île d'Yeu to find a new home for the small female lobster. The small French island is just off the coast of Saint-Gilles, where Les Viviers de Noirmoutie is located. 

They were able to find an area on the island that does not allow fishing, and will release the blue lobster there "so that it can live a long, peaceful and happy life," the Facebook post reads.
