How Do You Store Live Lobsters At Home?
Live lobsters should be kept in a cool and moist environment until ready to cook. The best way to store live lobsters at home is to keep them in a large container or cooler with a layer of seaweed or wet newspaper to maintain moisture. Keep the container or cooler in a cool place, such as a basement or refrigerator, with a constant temperature between 34-40°F. Do not store the lobsters in freshwater or ice, as it can kill them. Never keep live lobsters out of water for more than 24 hours.
