Fresh Live Welsh Lobster Whole

Taking care of lobsters after collecting them is essential for their health and quality. Here’s a simple guide for your customers on how to look after lobsters:

1. Keep Them Cool
- Temperature: Store lobsters in a cool, moist environment. Aim for a temperature between 45°F and 55°F (7°C to 13°C).
- Avoid Fresh Water: Do not store lobsters in fresh water or ice. They are saltwater creatures and can be harmed by chlorinated or freshwater.

 2. Use a Suitable Container
- Breathe: Place lobsters in a container that allows them to breathe, such as a cooler with aerated seawater or damp seaweed.
- Space:Ensure there’s enough space to avoid crushing each other.

3 Keep Them Moist
- Damp Environment: Cover the lobsters with damp seaweed or a damp cloth to keep them moist without drowning them.
- Do Not Submerge: Never submerge them fully in water. They need to be kept moist but should be able to breathe.

 4. Transport Carefully

- Gently Handle:When moving them, handle carefully to avoid stress and injury.
- Minimal Movement:Keep them in a stable environment during transport.

 5. Monitor Health
- Watch for Movement: Check if they are moving and looking healthy; lethargic lobsters may be under stress.
- Temperature Check:Ensure the temperature remains stable during storage and transport.

6. Prepare for Cooking

- Freshness is Key: Aim to cook lobsters as soon as possible after collection for the best flavor and texture.
- Avoid Long Storage:If storing them for more than a day, ensure they're in optimal condition
