Ecrevisse for Dummies

noun

What does Ecrevisse really mean?

Alright, so "Ecrevisse" is a French word that means "crayfish" in English. You know those little bitty lobster-looking creatures that live in freshwater? Yeah, those are crayfish. They have these little pinchy claws and they like to hide under rocks or in the mud. It's like a mini version of a lobster, but their bodies are kind of like a cross between a shrimp and a lobster. They're pretty cool little critters!

So, when you hear someone say "Ecrevisse" in French, they're talking about those little crayfish guys. And sometimes, people use the word to describe a dish that's made with crayfish, kind of like how we might say "shrimp scampi" to talk about a dish made with shrimp. So, "Ecrevisse" can mean the actual creature itself or a dish that's made with them.

I hope that makes sense! Let me know if you have any more questions about it.
