Now false. Can be fished in open water in Swamp of Sorrows.
After the CATA upgrade i found the darkclaw lobsters in the blasted lands - at Surwich on the south end of the dock in the dark water. this is for alliance dont know about the horde. seems to be the same kinds of fishing as in Azshara before CATA.
Dont forget you need to be a lvl 150 fishing before you catch Darkclaw lobsters in The Swamp of Sorrows
