The key to successfully storing a live lobster is remembering that it has unique physical features that require some consideration. First, a live lobster is a living, breathing creature, and to ensure that it remains the former, the latter quality must be accommodated. Lobsters breathe through gills, and these must be kept moist in order to work properly. There are two things in particular to avoid in order to keep your lobsters alive until you are ready to cook them: heat and dryness. Keep your lobsters in a cold, damp, and suitably oxygenated environment and you can expect them to survive for approximately 36 to 48 hours after you bring them home
