I did find this link, but I don't think it will help out much, because there is nothing on the internet about it, other than this. http://en.allexperts.com/q/Wild-Animals-705/frozen-crab-life-thawed.htm. Or you can go to this link. Its about frozen lobsters coming back to life after thawed.
How long will lobster live out of the tank? I would like to buy some live lobsters on Friday to prepare on Saturday evening. Is there a way to keep them alive for 24 hours or so?
