It is not safe to cook and eat lobster tails that have been thawed outside the refrigerator for 3 hours. The USDA recommends that perishable foods should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria. If the temperature is above 90°F (32°C), this time is reduced to just 1 hour. It's best to thaw seafood in the refrigerator to ensure safety.
