Langouste à l’Armoricaine

“À l’Armoricaine” must not be confused with the appellation “à l’Américaine”, given to the famous lobster dish. Armorique was the name of Brittany until the influx of Celts from Britain, when Brittany was an important province and duchy. The copper-coloured crawfish or langouste is much more popular in France than in England; it is usually larger than a lobster, and has no pincers or claws. The meat is more delicate and tender than that of a lobster.
