Check out our new resident lobster, Herman. He weights a massive 5.1kg (11.25lb), not the biggest lobster ever caught in Britain but certainly a monster! The largest British lobster,according to the British Marine Life Study Society (BMLSS) measured 1.26m from the end of its tail to the tip of its claws and weighed 9.3kg (20lb 8oz). It was caught during repair work on a jetty off Fowey in Cornwall as long ago as 1931. (Reference from Phil Lockley’s article, Fishing News 30/10/09)
