yabbie
Freshwater Australian crayfish
A yabbie is a small freshwater crayfish native to Australia, often caught recreationally and eaten.
The word is Australian slang, sometimes spelled yabby.
To go yabbying is to catch them: We spent the afternoon yabbying in the creek.
The term occasionally extends to similar crustaceans.
