I have never seen it in a supermarket. The only place I have ever seen
it was at a fish store that was in town for a while. That place closed
and the woman who owned it runs that fish counter at the local grocery
store, which does not carry it.


We tried it once. It was good. I was being touted at poor man's lobster.
I can understand the lobster part of that moniker but not the poor man
part, because it sure wasn't cheap. It was good.
