Being the curious person that I am I googled Crawdads a few weeks or months ago. Crawdads are crayfish in English. I'm familiar with crayfish. I used to see them on almost every lake dive. I think it amusing that a book is called "Where the crayfish sing". I have never heard them make noise. I have seen them threaten me with their claws and propulse themselves backwards with their tail. I have never seen them in a plate. I prefer them at the bottom of Swiss lakes.
I kept seeing the book on Audible.com. That's why I looked up the English word for the American spelling. The US too uses several name for these crustaceans.
