For some reason, CBP likes to post their invasive mitten crab seizures. According to the CBP website – last Wednesday, October 31st, CBP officers found 108 Chinese mitten crabs in a package labeled as a dress.
Mitten crabs are a delicacy in Asia and typically eaten.
The mitten crabs were seized and turned over to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC). The article does not say what happened to the mitten crabs.
