Our naming contest for the calico lobster gave rise to many creative monikers, but the winning name is ... Clawdious! The name was submitted by Gabriel Tiger Tracy, age 7. Gabriel won a goodie bag and a gift card to The Barking Crab, the awesome restaurant the donated the rarely spotted (pun intended) lobster. Clawdious is already a Rhode Island celebrity: Watch this NBC10 News story by R.J. Heim.
