Food of the Day- Langostino
Langostinos, often called langoustines (which are actually a breed of lobster, and entirely different), actually refer to squat lobsters
; but they are not really lobsters at all. In fact, they are more closely related to certain types of crab
. However, they are used frequently in place of lobster due to the similarity in both taste and texture, as well as lower price.
