sac au lait are also called white pearch are also called specs and are also called crappie.
Gadwalls are also called Gray Ducks
Coots are also called Pouldeau

Summer French
Lived in Houma for a while and the first time I heard that I said WTF? No one says that on the Western side of the state.

My grandfather had several terms for certain wildlife and game.
Wish I could share them with you but it would be grounds for getting banned....

sac au lait is in the lead with four different names.
I grew up in Central La. and we called the specs or white perch, but we all knew them as sac au lait too.
Wasn't till I moved to Arkansas that I had to start calling them crappie so people would know what in the hell I was talking about.
Here's another - Flathead catfish are also called Pollywogs and may also be known as Bullhead catfish.
