The Purveyor #3

New feature in the Purveyor

Daffodil the Lobster

Holding around 20,000 eggs, Daffodil is one of the latest additions at the Whitby Lobster Hatchery.

In the wild, only around 1 in 25,000 lobsters make it to landing size. Most never make it beyond the larval stage. With the help of the hatchery team, Daffodil’s eggs stand a far better chance — carefully nurtured until they reach the juvenile stage, when they’re ready to fend for themselves.

Once ready, they’re released back into the North Sea by fishermen, divers, and volunteers along the rocky coastline.

Careful, considered work — helping to support local lobster stocks and the future of the fishing fleet.

It costs around £1 to raise and release a single lobster. From every lobster bottle opener we sell, we donate £3 to the hatchery.
