Crawfish vs. Crayfish vs. Crawdad
There are multiple names for this freshwater crustacean that kinda looks like a baby lobster. If you’re in the South, you’ll hear them called “Crawfish.”
But if you head up the East Coast and the Great Lakes region, you’ll hear them called “Crayfish.” In the Midwest, they’ll call them “Crawdads.”
Then, there’s also the name “mudbug,” which just sounds so tasty to me.
