A certain age cohort of Chinese people will eat anything, likely resulting from when their parents had to do just that to avoid starvation. US-origin crayfish only look like shrimp-sized lobsters, they don't taste as good as either. They're more like if you boiled a lobster for too long and smeared it with river-bottom mud instead of butter. And at that size, the shells are a real pain.
