Problem is that mussels are a cold water mollusc, there ain't that much cold seawater around here so they need to be flown in, are always frozen and generally shit.

Lobster here is also usually rubbish as they are usually those Omani ones with a texture like cotton wool. Best lobster is from NE USA. Those lobster rolls! *drools*

Spiny lobsters, also known as langouste or rock lobsters, are a family (Palinuridae) of about 60 species of achelate crustaceans, in the Decapoda Reptantia. Spiny lobsters are also, especially in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and The Bahamas, sometimes called crayfish, sea crayfish or crawfish, terms which elsewhere are reserved for freshwater crayfish.

Re: What don't you get?
Maybe bahtat, but a lobster to me, is the pic i posted earlier.
Why let the scientific names etc. get in the way?
Reminds me of the Crocodile Dundee scene, "Knife? That's not a knife".
