A langoustine is sort of half way > between a prawn and a lobster. Comes from the French word for lobster. Well, there is lobster and lobster. There's just one name, in English, for two different animals. "Homard" and "Langouste" in French. Lobster/Homard: -color blue (turns red when kooked) -bigger than a Langouste (can reach 50 cm) -has got large clamps (always one smaller than the other) Lobster/Langouste: -color light red (stays light red when kooked) -smaller than a Homard (can reach 40 cm) -has got small clamps According to the clamps I'd say the lobster depicted above is a "Homard". Then there's the "langoustine": -color light red (stays light red when kooked) -small (can reach 15 cm) -has got long but thin clamps (often one smaller than the other) ...and there's the "ecrevisse": -lives in sweet water -color deep red (stays deep red when kooked) -small (can reach 10 cm) -has got clamps They taste all wonderful. :D joris
