Musselburgh & lobster
Musselburgh's lobster and langoustine come from Scotland's cold Atlantic west coast and the Minch, where creel fishermen have hauled pots from small boats for generations — shellfishing has been a Highland and island mainstay for centuries.
🦞 Lobster lore
A lobster's blood is clear, turning a faint blue when exposed to oxygen because it carries copper-based haemocyanin instead of iron.
