The lobster served are often of the smaller variety during the off season, so it is a matter of knowing when to order, very much the same way you order oysters. Out of Sydney they would be called slipper nosed or worse, but the meat is of a denser consistency and after a reheat from frozen and possibly a zap or two, will be less resistant to a knife cut. I am a seafood tragic and if on a series of connecting first flights where you are served back to back dinners, I will often go for the lobster, slice it into medallions and have it with the caviar. I consider this to be a treat, it is something I never see on a menu and certaintly something never in the fridge at home for a snack
But if you don't like a plate you ordered, obviously it can't be replaced, there will always be 4-6 other choices available
