A 110-year-old lobster is lastly again house.
In honor of Nationwide Lobster Day on Sunday, the city of Hempstead on Lengthy Island held a ceremonial pardon on Thursday for a 110-year-old, 21-pound lobster named Lorenzo, sparing him from the dinner plate on the iconic Peter’s Clam Bar in Island Park.
“I can consider no higher solution to have fun Nationwide Lobster Month than by pardoning Lorenzo and sending him off to get pleasure from retirement within the Atlantic,” stated Hempstead City Supervisor Don Clavin.
Lorenzo follows within the “clawsteps” of the now-famous Lenny the Lobster, one other crustacean pardoned at Peter’s Clam Bar in years previous. Till Thursday, Lorenzo had lived within the restaurant’s fish tank, delighting clients from close to and much.
“Most people celebrate National Lobster Day with butter,” said Nassau County Legislator John Ferretti. “But not today!”
