Some of the Frozen Coconut milk is on the Islands (much of the canned product is imported).
Coconut milk made fresh is the best using equal parts flaked or shredded fresh coconut meat & water & simmering, then straining .... a good link with lots of Photos:

This link gives some good comparisons on the canned & frozen products:

You may also want to try using the liquid & spoon meat from younger coconuts.... I usually replace light coconut milk with equal amount of this.
