The Lobster is a fish that can be caught using a Crab Pot in any saltwater body of water. It can also be gifted by a pet turtle with max friendship, or randomly found at the Traveling Cart for 
360–1,000g. The Statue Of Endless Fortune produces one Lobster per year on Elliott's birthday, Fall 5.
Like all fish caught from the crab pot, it cannot be eaten unless it is used in a Cooking recipe or smoked.

Tailoring
Lobster can be used in the spool of the Sewing Machine to create the dyeable Sailor Shirt. 
It can also be used as a red dye color at the dye pots in Emily's and Haley's house, located at 2 Willow Lane.
Fish Pond
Lobsters can be placed in a Fish Pond, where they will reproduce every 3 days. The initial pond capacity is 3 fish, but the capacity can be increased to 10 by completing three quests. Typical output includes red Lobster Roe, Seaweed, and various Trash items, but more valuable items are possible starting at population 5.
