Crayfish

In the waterways near my house, there are heaps of (= lots of) American crayfish [ザリガニ]. Sometimes I catch them with my sons. If we spend long enough, we can catch loads of (= lots of) them, like in this photo. It`s tons of (= lots of) fun!

Japanese people don`t usually eat them, but Americans do, especially in the southern state of Louisiana. Have you ever eaten crayfish? I haven`t.

Another name for crayfish is crawfish, but in Australia we use the name `yabby`.

Vocabulary:

- `many`, ` a lot of` & `lots of` are standard English, but native English speakers also use casual terms like `heaps of`, `loads of`, `tons of`, `stacks of` & `piles of`.

Hi, 
OTTO 
 
I haven't eaten them yet. 
 
I heard, 
After W.W.Ⅱ they were inported to 
Japan as a food. 
 
Australia has lots of seafood, 
so they don't need eat small yabby , 
do they?

I thought they were introduced after WW2 but then I read that it was before WW2. 

Some people eat yabbies in Australia, but yabbies live in fresh water, & in big Australian cities there often aren`t many fresh water streams or canals, like in Japan.
