Melt another stick of butter and dump in cracker and thyme mixture along with onions. Set aside. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Melt 1 tbl spoon of butter of in a sauce pan. Remove from burner and add 1 tbl spoon flour. Cook two minutes over burner. Add 2/3 cup clam juice. Cook to a thin sauce. Add two tbl spoons heavy whipping cream. Cook down to a rich, creamy sauce. (The frozen seafood will water it down a lot.) Butter a 9x13 casserole dish and toss in scallops and shrimp. Pour sauce in pan and bake 8 to 10 minutes. Spoon sauce over scallops and shrimp. Add lobster and bake 5 to 8 minutes. Spoon sauce over dish again and add crab and bake 5 minutes. Grate cheese on top and add cracker topping to top. Bake 5 to 8 minutes.
