I'd use dry ice and a good cooler.

Here is a question... What is best way to transport lobster back home? Any flash freeze services in ft lauderdale area?
Of course many of the waterfront property owners don't abide by that 300' rule, and consider the lobsters "theirs"
With the frozen fish wrapped in your t-shirt, don't your arms get cold flying north?Anytime I've flown with frozen fish. I freeze them in water, and just before I leave, I stick wrap the package up in extra plastic bags, then something that insulates, like Tshirts or neoprene, and stuff in the center of the suitcase. I've done a 6-8 hr jouney that way and they arrive frozen. Course the last time I did that was going up north at Christmas time. .

Oh, one year, I froze the tails in a Quarterdeck (or Big Daddy's) sized plastic water cup. I'd rather the water melt than the tails thaw..
Just one step.. Freeze the tails in water...I like that idea. I think if I have any to bring back to NC I'll freeze them, then seal them and freeze each in water as you suggested. I think they just may survive the 12 hour drive that way, especially if we put the cooler in the passenger area and not in the bed of the truck!
