the flesh is more tender than a lobster or crayfish, and I think more succulent

Available in the frozen seafood section of our (new) WalMart SuperCenter at a price considerably cheaper that "rock" or Maine lobster. Frozen 1" chunks in a bag. Quite pink in color.

This sounds like what I bought several months ago. Described as "lobster chunks" it was really pressed lumps of ground "something" and did not resemble lobster in taste at all. The bag in fine print says "cook when frozen" Tried the first bag..threw it and second bag away.
