Langoustine, also known as Norway lobster, Dublin Bay prawn, shlobster, or scampi, is a slim, coral-colored lobster that grows up to 25 cm long and is considered the most important commercial crustacean in Europe. It is a relative of the lobster, but smaller in size, growing up to a maximum of only around 10 inches. Langoustines are considered a delicacy and are known for their rich, juicy, fleshy, and slightly sweet meat, which is similar in taste to lobster. They are loaded with iodine, vitamin B12, copper, and selenium, and are also rich in proteins, phosphorus, and vitamin E. As a good source of omega-3, they offer many essential fats to the body. Langoustines are found in the North-East Atlantic, around Iceland, Norway, and the Faroe Islands to Northwest Africa and the Mediterranean Sea. They are extremely perishable and expensive, and their delicate flesh begins to "autoconsume" as soon as they die, turning black, mealy, and disgusting.
