Some of those frozen brands at HEB are pretty decent. But none of
the HEB's stock the same brands. I shop every HEB from Parmar to
Slaughter and there is no consistent brand of vacuum-packed crawfish
tails package.

ObFood: I'm eating pulpo ceviche:

Recipe:
Bag of cooked pulpo (1lb), an 11.5oz can of drained Rotel (the juice
pressed and drank separately), two shots each of Girards Ceasar and
Champagne dressings, smoked paprika, finely diced onion, and a tsp
of Herbs de provance (discovered by Herve Villachez, BTW*) and
marinated for 18 hours.

This is extremely edible at $5/lb made at home. But It's not
something you bring to a pot-luck unless you really have a death-
wish from every Hate Group and nationality on the planet.

Not to mention those chicks from accounting upstairs who keep
telling me I'm Hot. I get that [tssst! OUCH!] at least 8
times day as they touch my butt. They like my hands, but not
octopus.

Since you started with cooked octopus, in what way is that recipe ceviche?
It's more of a marinated octopus salad.

I don't recall the brand name but I'll check next time I go to the big
HEB here. (We have two in town and the smaller one is closer to my house
and stocks most basic stuff I need)

I have used them in recipes and they are good for that. A bit salty imho
if you try to eat them as a stand alone entree dipped in lemon butter.

When I use frozen crawfish tails, I will bring water to a boil, add the
crawfish, and as soon as the water comes back to a boil, I drain them.
Then, chill them in an ice bath to keep them from overcooking. I never
use frozen crawfish right out of the bag.

Good way to get the salt out I suppose. ;-)

Om, I am not sure why we do it, but that is what the Cajuns taught me.
Another method is to put the crawfish tails in a colander and pour
boiling water over them.

If you get the tails, there are no heads to suck.
