[Sca-cooks] Lobster in Period

[Terry Decker]

You don't want to use langostino.  Lamgostino is Spanish for the squat 
lobster, which isn't a lobster at all, and comes mainly from the Pacific. 
What you want to use is langouste, spiny or rock lobster.  The differences 
between H. gammarus and H. americanus are primarily physical shell 
variations.  There shouldn't be any difference in taste.

I am considering making a couple of versions: one with crayfish, one with 
common American lobster (since it will probably be the closest I can get to 
Common European) and possibly one with Langostino.

I appreciate the reference help!
