A small freshwater fish of the sunfish family, popular in North American sport and food fishing, with a silvery, compressed body.
From Choctaw origin (possibly related to 'crappé' or similar), referring to this fish species found in North America. The exact etymology is uncertain but likely predates European colonization.
Crappies are the unsung heroes of American fishing—they're easier to catch than bass, taste better than many game fish, yet rarely get the glamorous attention in fishing culture!
