Chinese people apparently have a great appetite for crayfish.
During a recent festival to promote the delicacy in Jianli county of Central China's Hubei province, over 3,000 people on-site and thousands more through livestreaming witnessed 12 cooks spending more than three hours making 1,491 kilograms of crayfish in a single pot with a diameter of 3.1 meters.
The local government said the county will produce as much as 150,000 metric tons of crayfish this year, compared to 130,000 metric tons in 2018.
