Hairy situation

Even as Chinese consumers tuck into Asian carp to help save US rivers, another invasive species, Chinese mitten crabs, are invading German waters.

But it seems unlikely that Chinese diners will be able to similarly help German waters by eating the crustaceans, also known as Shanghai hairy crabs.

A latest online search failed to show any information involving the sale of the crabs from Germany, even though many Chinese netizens and foodies expressed much interest in them.
