Senator hot about 'impostor lobster'

What's in a name? For Maine lobstermen, tens of millions of dollars, says one senator.

Sen. Olympia Snowe, from the nation's leading lobster-producing state, Maine, wants U.S. restaurants to stop calling a type of seafood a lobster, because she says it isn't a lobster at all.

Snowe says a 2-inch shellfish known as "langostino lobster" is an impostor to the real thing, and she's asking the Food and Drug Administration to yank approval for restaurants to market the product as lobster on their menus.

In France it is a large shimp, somewhat large than a King Prawn, maybe 12- 15cm long. In no way a lobster.

Ah, here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langostino
