'''''Langostino''''' is a [[Spanish language|Spanish]] word with different meanings in different areas. In the United States, it is commonly used in the restaurant trade to refer to the meat of the [[squat lobster]], which is neither a true [[lobster]] nor a [[prawn]]. Squat lobsters are more closely related to [[porcelain crab|porcelain]] and [[hermit crab]]s. [[Crustaceans]] labeled as langostino are no more than {{convert|3|in|cm|0|abbr=on|order=flip}} long, and weigh no more than {{convert|7|oz|g|-1|abbr=on|order=flip}}.<ref name="Fish fraud"/> Langostinos are not [[langouste]]s (spiny lobsters) despite a similar name (in Spanish, lobster is called ''{{lang|es|langosta}}''). Also, langostinos are sometimes confused with [[Norway lobster|langoustines]] (Norway lobster).<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.seafoodsource.com/news/foodservice-retail/langostino-lobster-difference |title= Langostino vs. Lobster: What's the difference?}}</ref>
