You can keep lobsters alive for a day or so in the refrigerator. We store them in a paper bag, covered with seaweed. They can also be stored alive in an open container, covered with seaweed, or a seawater-soaked towel or newspaper (can you take a bottle or towel to the grocery store and ask the person at the fish counter to give you some seawater? ). Don't store them in a closed container. And whatever you do, don't put them in fresh water 鈥?they'll expire very quickly.





If the lobsters are quite lively when you buy them, you should be able to keep them alive in the refrigerator for as long as 48 hours. If their claws hang limply and their tails do not curl under when you pick them up, they may not have the stamina to survive nearly as long.How to keep a lobster alive befor cooking time.?
get a cooler and put some COLD and WET news papers in the bottom and when you get the lobsters then put some of the newspapers on top of the live lobster. don't have the newspapers DRENCHED because most lobsters are from saltwater and that could kill them quicker.





this works for when you pick them up and when you get home put them in the fridge. if you can't cook the lobsters that day then you need to cook them by the next day.





it's always best to get them as close to the time as you're going to cook them.
If you cannot go back to the store where you bought them and ask for seawater to store them, cook them ahead, but not to completely done. However, if they are lively, you should be able to store them in a paper bag or open pot in the fridge for that short a period. Whatever you do-don't put them in fresh water. This will kill them very fast.
I would order them and pick them up as close to the time that I wanted to serve them as I could. May also ask this question when placing the order since everyone there would have this info for you.
the poor lobsters....





Just put them in the fridge, they will stay alive for 6 hours, no problem.
Throw it in the fridge. I did it last night and it still trys to pinch me right now. =]
