Yabby

Australian freshwater crayfish are found in abundance in streams, billabongs, rivers, lakes, and ponds across Victoria and New South Wales. Yabbies, the name which is applied to various Cherax species of crustacean, have a particularly sweet-flavored meat and are often used for soups and bisques, but they can also be steamed, grilled and pan-fried, in and out of the shell.

In Australia, yabby meat is a popular alternative to prawns, lobsters, and crabs, and is commonly combined with aioli and various dressings.
