My parents almost always bring lobsters down from New England with them when they visit. They buy them the afternoon/evening before, keep them in the fridge with wet paper towels, then put them in a big cooler with ice packs the next morning, drive them down here and we feast on them that evening. Never had a dead one yet in 8 years.

Will you adopt me?

You can buy live lobsters online and have them shipped so if properly stored you should be fine.

Every now and then I see a seafood truck in the little country store/BBQ parking lot across from NIH on weekends. I think they have live lobster. They also have it sometimes at the seafood truck at the Bethesda Elementary farmer's market on Sundays.

(OP here)- Yes, the one by NIH on Christmas Eve- that's where I was thinking of getting them!

What? They're just the big, delicious Bugs-of-the-Sea.

Lobsters used to be for poor fishermen and their families. They're scavengers so you're eating dumpster food.

Here's a labor-saver I learned from my Indian inlaws: that drawn (clarified) butter that's essential along with? They sell it in jars at the store. It's called ghee.
