it may just be a rotten lobster, but i think that means it is NOT okay to eat.
Cooked lobster is generally safe to eat for up to 2 days when stored in the refrigerator at a temperature below 40F (4C). After this time, it is best to discard the lobster to avoid the risk of foodborne illness.
Cooked lobster can remain at room temperature for up to 24 hours before significant bacterial growth occurs. Average fungal growth requires much longer periods of time before having any effect on humans. Lobster meat remains safe to eat for longer periods of time than other seafoods due to the unique chemical composition of lobster tissue.
All lobsters whether good or bad will turn red after you boil/steam them. To know if your lobster is good or bad. The part where the tail meets the back you want to break and make a hole for your finger to fit. Your finger should be going into the tail not going into the back of the lobster. On the roof you should feel the shell and then under your finger there will be meat if the meat is squishy not firm, messy, and gooey. Then you have a bad lobster. If its firm and pink it is good.
i would think if the lobster was refrigerated and still smells like a "healthy" lobster go ahead and cook it. maybe you can call the place where you bought the lobster and discuss with them....maybe they'll even replace it?! Good Luck and Happy New Year!
Yankee Lobster Fish Market would be a good place to catch the lobster in Boston.
For food
Only if it was sitting in the refrigerator.
if the chicken was bought it would still be fine (maximum 5 days) Same with if its cooked
My grocery store has these, chicken lobsters are just smaller than average lobsters but still oh so good =)
When they die, their internal organs begin to break down and release toxins into the surrounding tissues. This makes the "meat" inedible. Also, it is a good idea to "Purge" the crayfish before preparing them for consumption. To do this they need to be alive.
Yes, fresh is very good for you. You get to eat the vitamins that are still in fresh foods. Cooked foods have less vitamins in them.
