Do you need to clean live lobster?

no because when you boil it, it will kill all the bacteria on the lobster. but if you are a germ freak you can wash it if you really want to. ---------------------------------------------------------- The lobster needs to be boiled in salted water before you can eat it. After it has been boiled you can eat most of it apart from the gills, shell and the vein running from the front to the rear in the white meat of the tail.
