Your Whole Wild Rosslare Lobster will arrive alive, in ice packs to keep it sluggish and in good condition, with the claws in rubber bands for safety. The Lobster should be held carefully by the lower end of the body shell so that the head and claws hang down. Do not drop. You may consider putting the Lobster in the freezer for 30 minutes or so before cooking it in order to minimise reactions. This way the Lobster enters a state of hibernation and is unlikely to experience pain.

Lobsters are best eaten on the day of arrival. If you do need to store them, make sure that they are eaten within 2 days. If possible, store in the box the Lobster arrived in, in your fridge. If your fridge isn't big enough, wrap the lobsters in a clean damp tea towel or paper to keep them moist and store with ice packs or in the fridge. Do not freeze. Do not immerse in tap water or put in any airtight container. Lobsters need to stay moist and cold to stay alive and inactive.
