Why do you cook lobsters alive?

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.

its deadly to eat dead shellfish. That is to say it must be alive when it is cooked . Not dead before it is cooked . Like clams, mussels and Lobster.

Does a lobster have to be alive before cooking?

It is actually illegal in someplaces to boil them alive. The more humane way to cook them is by first freezeng them that way they don't suffer. There are studies demonstrating that lobsters feel pain and also suffer. Let's be responsable! if we kill to eat, the least we can do is provide a decent death to the animals. We owe them that.

Your daughter put tap water in the sink with the lobsters and you think she killed them can you cook them It has only been 20 min?

Fresh water does not kill lobsters. Actually, lobsters can tolerate fresh water for quite a while. It does sort of anesthetize them, but it does not kill them. That is not until it is boiling.
