Bought a 3 lb bag of "bargain" shrimp at the Save A Lot and lost $12 plus a whole dinner

Saw the $4.99 sticker at the Save A Lot on Canal St and grabbed it without checking the label. Got home, thawed the bag, and half of it was ice and the shrimp cooked down to rubbery little curls. Ended up ordering a $15 pizza to save the night, so that cheap bag cost me about $27 total. Has anyone found a frozen seafood that actually holds up for a weeknight meal, or should I just stick to the canned tuna?
