langosta

Spanish seafood delicacy

Langosta is the Spanish word for lobster, used in English primarily in culinary contexts or in regions with Spanish influence.

It appears on menus and in recipes, especially for Caribbean or Latin American dishes: We ordered the langosta tacos.

Langosta can also refer to spiny lobster specifically, which lacks the large claws of Atlantic lobster.
