WHAT DOES LANGOSTINO MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Langostino

Langostino is a Spanish word with different meanings in different areas. In the United States, it is commonly used in the restaurant trade to refer to the meat of the squat lobster, which is neither a true lobster nor a prawn. It is more closely related to porcelain crabs and hermit crabs. Crustaceans labeled as langostino are no more than 3 inches long, and weigh no more than 7 ounces. Langostinos are not langoustes despite a similar name. Also, langostinos are sometimes confused with langoustines, which is a true lobster common in European cuisine. In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration allows "langostino" as a market name for three species in the family Galatheidae: Cervimunida johni, Munida gregaria, and Pleuroncodes monodon. In Spain, it means some species of prawns. In Cuba and other Spanish-speaking Caribbean islands, the name langostino is also used to refer to crayfish.
