No blushes as red lobster is spared the pot

HIS flushed colour might suggest he made a daring escape from a boiling pot in a seafood restaurant but that half-baked idea is way off the boil.

However, there was nothing quite so dramatic about the discovery of a rare red lobster plucked from the sea yesterday by an alert fisherman whose prized catch has been causing quite a stir.

Local pot-fisherman Pa Keane was the centre of attention when he landed the blush-toned crustacean off Kerry Head, west of Ballyheigue beach in Co Kerry.
