The Norway lobster, Nephrops norvegicus (also called Dublin Bay Prawn or Langoustine), is a slim orange-pink lobster found in the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea. The tail is muscular, and is frequently eaten, often under the name "scampi".

Norway lobsters are solitary predators, feeding mostly on molluscs and other crustaceans
