How long does live lobster last alive in fridge afterr purchase at market?
Live lobsters can survive for up to 36 hours in the fridge after purchase at the market.
Here are a few tips to help keep your lobster alive and healthy while it's in the fridge:
* Place the lobster in a large bowl or container filled with cold water. The water should be about the same temperature as the water in the tank at the market.
* Add a little salt to the water. This will help to keep the lobster's gills moist.
* Cover the bowl or container with a lid or plastic wrap. This will help to keep the lobster from crawling out.
* Change the water every 12 hours. This will help to remove any waste products that the lobster produces.
If you're not going to cook the lobster within 36 hours, it's best to freeze it. To freeze a lobster, first kill it by placing it in a pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes. Then, drain the water and place the lobster in a freezer-safe bag. Seal the bag and place it in the freezer. Frozen lobsters can be stored for up to 3 months.
Here are some signs that a lobster is dead:
* The lobster's tail is limp.
* The lobster's eyes are black.
* The lobster's body is soft.
If you see any of these signs, don't eat the lobster.
