Let's see...snakeheads in the Potomac, and now these crabs in the bay.


"China has a mixed record on seafood safety.

It exported more than 1 billion pounds of seafood to the USA last year —
more than any other nation, says researcher Urner Barry. About 18% of U.S.
seafood imports come from China, the National Fisheries Institute says.
China also had more seafood imports rejected by the FDA than any other
country: 253, almost one-third of which were eel."

Could there be a plan here?
