Etymology

The word 'langoustine' comes from the French term 'langouste,' which itself is derived from the Latin word 'locusta' meaning 'grasshopper' or 'locust.' The term 'langouste' originally referred to a type of spiny lobster. Over time, the word evolved in various languages to refer specifically to the much smaller species known scientifically as Nephrops norvegicus. These crustaceans are commonly found in the waters of the North Atlantic, traditionally sought after by fishermen in countries such as Scotland and Ireland. Langoustines have been part of culinary traditions in Europe, particularly in coastal regions, for centuries. Their delicate meat has made them a sought-after ingredient in high-end dining and gourmet seafood dishes.
