Abstract
A lobster tether has a strap configured for coupling a lobster to a handle configured on a handle extension that enables easier retrieval of a lobster from a tank. The handle extension is rigid and free-standing thereby placing the handle proximal to or above the water level in a tank. A lobster tether may be made out of a material that floats, such a plastic and may be a material that is food safe and can withstand cooking temperatures, such as boiling water. In addition, a lobster tether may be a monolithic part, made from a single piece of material, such as by injection molding. The strap has teeth that engage with latch teeth to secure the strap around a lobster or other shellfish.
