cooking fresh lobster
 

Just bought a few fresh lobsters about an hour ago *alive*.
We got home and stuck them in the sink to keep them alive *in the sink for about 45 minutes *. Now they seem to be dead!

What I'm wondering is is it okay to still eat him if he's dead? I heard that unless he's alive when you boil him you can be poisoned...any truth to this?

Yeah, if they die before boiling, thats not a really good sign

OMFG died Lobster.. Babee you better put those in the trash STAT..... not good anymore. You cook them alive....

Nurses Orders LMAO:winkwink:

Amazing deleicious Hmmmm... Man My month is watering now for a lobster... dammmn :winkwink:

What he said.

"PLEASE... DON'T PUT YOUR LOBSTER GRAM LIVE LOBSTERS IN TAP WATER PRIOR TO COOKING. This will literally drown them and make them very unhappy and dead."

"bacteria form quickly in a dead lobster"

"Caution: if your lobster has been packed in plastic bags make sure there are holes in the bag and remove them ASAP. It is not a good idea to buy the lobster and leave them in a hot car while you finish the shopping! Dead lobster should not be used. Never submerge your live lobster in fresh tap water this will kill the lobster. "



Took all of 3 minutes to research.

you drowned him..you bastard!

just out of curiosity, why did you think that putting salt water lobsters in fresh water would keep them alive?

If you haven't already, take it out of the sink and let it warm up a bit. See if he 'comes back to life'.

Shit I buy' em dead in the store all the time, cook the cock sucker and eat it.:thumbsup

well if they recently died
u can cook em

boiling water will kill all the bacteria

I rarely bother with the whole lobster. Tails are alot easier.

I highly doubt cold tap water would put a lobster to sleep seeing as they are harvested in MAINE!!

You can cook them and eat them if you do it relatively shortly after they died.

In the future, just put them in the bag in the refrigerator, not the sink. Leave the bag open so they can breath.

Incidentally, boiling water does NOT kill all the potentially bad stuff.

Brutal

why boil a Lobster ??

raw sashimi style..only way to eat Lobster
