I'm thinking room temp since we always put live lobster in the pot when cooking a whole lobster.

Damn it!  :/. Just unwrapped them and they are blocks of ice.  Apparently they were sold to us frozen.

Thanks for the info.

"It's got fangs"

"It'll bite your head off"

"Oh it's just a little rabbit"

Wrap them back up in something watertight, put them in a deep bowl (or a pot).  Weight them down so they don't float, if you have to, and fill with room temp/cool water.  Put them under the faucet, and open it up to a steady trickle - just enough to keep the water moving for convection.  Do not use hot water, you're not trying to boil them, and you definitely don't want the outside to start to cook while the inside is still a solid block.

They'll be thawed in ~2 hours.  Maybe less, if they're all IQF and not in a solid block or something.

ETA: Room temp shellfish that's been kept out for 24 hours?  Are you trying to kill someone?

Good way to get food poisoning! OP put them in a zip lock bag, fill sink with cool water and soak them in the bag. They will be thawed in no time. Do NOT use hot water!

Thats what I was thinking.   If they are frozen, I usually throw them in the refrig for a day or so and let them thaw out.  If its spur of the moment, sink full of cold water until they thaw.

I always let them reach room temp before grilling as makes for easier timing, IMHO.

YMMV but ill pass on letting my seafood sit above 50 degrees on purpose for any longer than is required. beef? that's a different conversation.

We did some awhile back, just pulled them out of the fridge, split them down the middle of the shell, put on a little  olive oil, sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper and threw them on the grill.

BEST lobster I've ever had in my life. The charred shell seems to add to the flavor.     (didn't even need butter)

Try drizzling a bit of Grand Marnier on the split while they are cooking.
