My friend has some lobster tails in the fridge, and got them Tues. It's now Thursday and she wants to cook them on Sat. Can she keep them in the fridge til then and they will keep fine? Or should she (and can she) freeze them and then unfreeze on Sat and cook them?

Being that the lobster could have been caught prior to the purchase of them. Your best bet is to go off of smell. If the lobster has a fishy smell, they are no good. If the lobster has no smell at all, you are good to go.

refrigerated fresh seafood should only be kept about 3 days max before cooking. If they had been froze, I'd say they could last up to 2 weeks as long as they are well wrapped and dont get freezer burn. In this case, I'd cook them right away. Freezing now would still put them at the 3 day mark.

Well, if you buy it a week before the planned meal (alive) then you can keep it as an honourary pet... Not much good as an alternative to a guard dog, but you will find that they are very affectionate and a good talking point at dinner parties... As for cooking it -fresh is probably best. Hope this helps... :-) ^ ^

If they don't smell real fishy, cook them NOW. If you don't want to eat them right away, freeze them after you cooked them.

They will probably be OK but I would freeze them now just to be safe.
