How long will live lobster survive?
Lobsters will live out of water for 36-48 hours if properly refrigerated. It is advised that they be cooked on the day of delivery, refrigerated and eaten within 3 days.

What if I cannot cook my lobsters immediately?
If you need to hold them until later in the day it is best to keep them in their packaging and refrigerate them. If you cannot fit your cooler in the refrigerator, put your lobsters in a paper bag on a drip tray or dish to catch any water that may leak, and don't seal them in a plastic bag. Please do not put them in water! Without proper salinity and temperature control the lobsters will die.

I thought lobster were red in color?
The shade varies a little from lobster to lobster, but they are a dark blue-green when alive. The lobster's color is caused by pigments in the shell. Cooked lobster is red in color. When the lobster is cooked, all of the color pigments are masked except the red background color.

How can I tell if my lobsters arrived alive?
If you ordered live lobsters, they will have been out of water for almost 24 hours when you receive them. Occasionally, one may appear weak or lifeless. This is a normal occurrence. In most cases, as long as the packaging material is in good condition, and the refrigerant is still cold, your lobsters will be fine. As long as the lobster's tail curls when cooked, and the meat in the tail is firm, then the lobster was alive when it was cooked. In the unlikely event that your packaging arrives damaged, please note it with the delivery driver and contact us immediately so we can arrange credit.
