This crustacean is actually Spiny lobster or Rock lobster or Crawfish. A true lobster has 2 large claws on the front and a smoother shell

Good opportunity to get rid of old stock from the bottom of the freezer. A full month of promoting lobster should do the job.

Maybe rebrand it as an OTOP lobster and sell it for 1500 baht per 100g, with a complementary pineapple garnish.
