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.

Typical output includes red Lobster Roe, Seaweed, and various Trash items, but more valuable items are possible starting at population 5.
