Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a bowl, combine everything but the bacon. Mix, using your hands, until well blended. In a roasting pan or iron skillet, shape the mixture into a lobster. With the ketchup, either rub a thin coating all over the lobster or make lines for visual appeal. Wrap the bacon slices across the tail or at joints, so everyone gets a little. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, covering the "claws" with foil after 40 minutes so that they don't dry out.

POOR MAN'S MOCK LOBSTER
Try this recipe for chicken that is marinated and grilled, dipped in butter and tastes amazingly like lobster. My Dad actually got this recipe from a friend of his, and it's too wonderful to keep it a secret! Serve with clarified butter for dipping.
