I guess you can just cut the tail off and freeze them, that is how they sell lobster tail in Costco..

Freeze em whole. Tuck tail underneath, wrap legs & secure with a big rubber band. But put them in a bowl or something so any liquid they may seep doesn't make a mess.

I would tail them, remove the intestines and then freeze them. I'm sure it's ok to freeze whole but I wouldn't do that. You don't need to cook them before you freeze them. Freezing raw is OK.

Freeze em

If you are going to eat them within a month you can Freeze em whole.
Put them in the freezer alive and wait about ten minutes then.... Tuck tail underneath, wrap legs & secure with a big rubber band or twist tie.
Thaw out in the sink with some tap water and you're good to go!

Is it legal to pull the tail off and freeze them? If DFG came in your house and checked the freezer, don't you still need the body on? (so they could measure for shorts I guess)? On another form a guys was saying it was not legal to pull the tails and freeze them.......Any one? Bueller?

DFG reg

Yes it's true...you are not supposed to de-tail your lobster until you are ready to consume it...I can't imagine a bunch of DFG wardens using a battering ram to bust down your door just to check your 7 bugs in the freezer!
Just use your uncommon sense and don't de-tail on the boat or at the dock.
