crawfish
The term is most commonly used in the Southern United States, particularly in Louisiana, where it is a staple of Cajun and Creole cuisine. In other English-speaking regions, including the UK and parts of the Northern US, the term "crayfish" is more frequent. While they refer to the same animal, "crawfish" strongly evokes a specific cultural and culinary context.
In a culinary sense, it is often associated with communal eating events. A "crawfish boil" is not just a method of cooking but a social gathering where large quantities of the crustacean are boiled with spices and poured onto a table for guests to share.
Regarding grammar, "crawfish" can be used as both a countable noun for individual animals and as a mass noun when referring to them as a food source (e.g., "We bought ten pounds of crawfish").
