French term or phrase: Homard Bleu
Has anyone elso come across this one? Its for a menu card and, although blue lobster seems like the obvious they are, as I suspected, an extremely rare thing and probably shouldn't be eaten (other than by other sea creatures scurrying across the seabed) so I probably should find some other name incase the restaurant in question ends up with the RSPCA banging at the door! Any help would be welcome.

Blue Lobster


Explanation:
Maybe they farm Blue Lobster rather than catching wild ones?


From wikipedia.fr
La chair du homard est réputée et il est considéré comme le plus fin des crustacés, devançant la langouste. Pour les connaisseurs, les deux espèces de homard n'ont pas tout à fait la même saveur. En France, les homards de première qualité se trouvent en Bretagne et dans la Manche, le plus réputé étant le « homard bleu », sauvage, d'Audresselles, devenu très rare.
