Lobsters and Crabs?
I heard that you need to Cook Lobsters and crabs when they are alive, because if you let them die or kill them, they will release some kinda toxicant into they body, is that right??
Last week, I went to a sea food restaurant and he had some fresh lobsters sitting on ice, I asked him if these are cooked, he said no. I told him about the toxicants thingy, he said I am wrong.
I think the sea food restaurant guy is clueless, right??
This pretty much applies to cattle and swine who might suspect "the end is near". You need to kill them as gently as possible usually involving a major thump on the forehead via gun or mechanical device so this urge doesn’t kick in and render the meat tough via the stress hormones involved. Chasing them around causes distress – you don’t want this. It will release stress hormones that will effect the meat.
Lobsters/crabs/shrimps don’t have this ‘feeling’ therefore, will not produce the ‘toxicant’.
They are more closely related to spiders than mammals or other animals.
I thought it was for cruelty. IDK!

What happens is– when any bottom feeder dies, it’s own immune system stops fighting the high concentration of dangerous bacteria within its body. So no– you never eat dead ones. The lobsters you saw were probably alive and chilled motionless.
