BOSTON -- Call it cryonics for crustaceans. A Connecticut company says its frozen lobsters sometimes come back to life when thawed. Trufresh began freezing lobsters with a technique it used for years on salmon after an offhand suggestion by some workers. It found that some lobsters revived after their subzero sojourns.
Live lobster should be cooked the same day it is bought. Keep lobsters cool, covered and moist in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Never put lobsters into fresh water or salt water to attempt to keep them alive; fresh water will kill them, as will salt water made with tap water that has been chlorinated.ar-boil your lobsters in a large pot of boiling water for 5 minutes. Remove the lobsters and plunge into a large bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the lobsters and store in a refrigerator if you do not plan to grill them right away. Place a lobster on its back on a cutting board.
