Well, it's really hard to eat a live one; they won't stand still for you. It's best to cook it first.

All jokes aside, I assume you are talking about finding a dead lobster and eating it. Lobsters are bottom feeders; they eat dead things that drift to the ocean floor. You shouldn't eat anything you find dead; you don't know what it died from. Lobsters really should be eaten freshly killed. They possess an enzyme that rapidly breaks down their meat after they die, causing the meat to be mushy. While you could eat it, it would not be pleasant.

You can if you are desperate and have no means of cooking it. It is not recommended because lobsters live on the rotting flesh of dead things that fall to the ocean floor including what is discharged from passing ships.

Not really, the "meat" is nearly liquid before cooking and would not be very enjoyable.

I think you can, but you must turn it into powder firstly. Perhaps it is a good source of calcium.
