A note about ice packs--
National Public Radio's _All Things Considered_ recently mentioned a company in Nova Scotia packing lobsters for its travelling customers. Pre-Aug.10, they used a gel-based ice pack. When the regulations went into effect, they started using ziplock-freezer (clear) bags of frozen peas. They're cheap, edible, and they reportedly stay colder longer.
