We've got a lobster pot full of deliciously funny jokes about lobsters all ready for you.

Lobsters are large marine crustaceans with long bodies, muscular tails, and two big claws that live in burrows and crevices on the seafloor. Lobsters are also one of the most expensive and delicious seafoods and are the favorite choice of meal for a lot of people.

There are at least 30 different types of clawed lobsters and 45 other species of rock or spiny lobsters known to man. Everyone loves lobsters, despite the large price tag they come with! Did you know that, although lobsters are instantly recognisable as red sea creatures, they actually only turn red when you cook them? They are instead found in yellow, green or sometimes even bright blue colors. When the lobster fishermen catch them, they weigh up many factors before choosing the best ones to keep. The lobsters that are too small are thrown back into the sea as they'll need to grow a little more first, and the ones that are too big are also thrown back into the sea in the hopes that they'll add more vigor to the gene pool. In Maine, USA, a lobster's body has to be at the very least three and one quarter inches long to keep, and it can not be longer than five inches.  If you're looking for a lobster joke, a lobster crustacean joke, a seaweed joke, or perhaps even a Santa 'Claws' joke, this article has got you covered. Now that you've learned so much about these wonderful animals, relax and have a little laugh reading the jokes.
