The important factor in keeping live lobsters is temperature. We recommend that the lobster be stored in the crisper drawer of your refrigerator. If your lobster was shipped, or packed to travel, you can use some of the seaweed in your package to cushion and cover the lobsters. Optionally, you can add a small damp cotton towel to the drawer to keep the environment moist (not drenched). Under no circumstances should you place the lobsters in standing water of any kind.
