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.
Prepare your lobster tail.As with any lobster preparation, you must thaw a frozen tail. Thaw in a refrigerator for several hours or in the microwave for a few minutes. If the lobster is alive, place it in a pot of boiling water for about seven minutes. Preheat your grill, by setting it to medium or medium high.
