?Bug Question?
Just grabbed a few lobster from the Pacific Ocean! And I am on my way home I can't eat them tell tomorrow afternoon, what's the best way to keep them fresh? Live in the fridge? Just tails in the fridge?

Next time grab some kelp to throw on your friends. When I get home I put my bugs in a large Tupperware container with the kelp in the fridge. They'll keep for a day or two. If I know I'm going to keep them longer like a week or two I let them chill in the fridge for a few hours so they "go to sleep".. Then I blanch them in boiling water for 40 sec or so and then immediately take them out and soak them in ice cold water for a few minutes. Then I'll seperate the carpas from the tail and vacuum seal the tails in the freezer. This has worked great for me..

I worked in a seafood market years ago and we got our maine lobster shipped in packed in wet news paper with cold packs on top. I don't know how long the shipping was but they were fine. Mike

Wet wood shavings will keep them good for 2-3 days in the fridge.
