Keeping live lobsters in your bath tub

About 9 years ago I got my hands on a baby coffin sized box of live lobsters, I brought them home but we had to go to a Jeffco Midget Football game so I filled my bath tub with water and dumped all 40 of them in there for safe keeping- and to our horror they were all dead when we got home. Almost the same senario last night (adult coffin sized box- 90 count) except this time I put 6 cups of empsom salts into the water, and when we got home late last night they were all alive and kicking- We've been boiling lobsters since 4:45AM Daylight Savings time, and my freezer is full of Tails..Had 7 already today.

lol Epsom Salts huh? Now what made you think of doing that? Enjoy!

Last time someone told me they need to be in salt water- I knew that, but was suprised that they died so fast in the fresh water- It was a suprise lobster delivery yesterday and all we had around was the epsom salts, they worked!

VL eats bugs.

These were jet fresh from Australia- Smallish, but extra sweet

I'm stuffed

Eat till you puke! More power to ya.

When we were in Iceland, we got a lunch of baby lobsters but instead of the typical butter, they cooked them in beef stock. It was very good! I ate about (7) of those buggers. (They were smallish.)

VL, you may be stuffed, but your head is still empty.

If he's stuffed, wouldn't that mean that he's full of it?

VL, you might want to keep an eye on yourself for the next 24 hours. You ate food soaked in Magnesium sulfate. Magnesium sulfate is used as a laxative to relieve occasional constipation. An overdose of magnesium sulfate can be fatal

Overdose symptoms may include nausea, vomiting, flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling), feeling very hot, slow heart rate, extreme drowsiness, or fainting.
