How do you say Lobster in Chinese?

Lobster in Chinese can be said in a few ways, depending on the context and dialect:

Mandarin:

* 龙虾 (lóng xiā) - This is the most common and general term for lobster.

* 波士顿龙虾 (Bōsīdùn lóngxiā) - This specifically refers to American lobster, often called Boston lobster.

* 澳洲龙虾 (Àozhōu lóngxiā) - This refers to Australian lobster.

Cantonese:

* 龍蝦 (lung há) - This is the equivalent of the Mandarin term.

It's worth noting that "龙虾" (lóngxiā) is often used for other types of crustaceans too, including crayfish and spiny lobsters.

If you're specifically looking for a particular type of lobster, it's best to use the more specific terms like "波士顿龙虾" or "澳洲龙虾".
