There was a news article a whiles back that said that a lot of what Red
Lobster calls "lobster" on their menus is actually crayfish...of course with
an outfit like RL I'm not really surprised.

AFAIK a lot of crayfish is imported from Vietnam, China, etc. Apparently
the Louisiana, etc. crayfish growers are up in arms about this and want
restrictive trade legislation against these imports.
