The official Weibo account of the Danish embassy in Beijing on Sunday forwarded a report by the Chengdu Business Daily about a woman from Sichuan who managed to dig up around 150 kilograms of giant oysters along the Danish coast.
The Sichuan native, Bian Miaomiao, subsequently put on a massive oyster fry for her family and friends in Denmark, where she has lived with her husband in the past seven years.
Embassy staff was interviewed by Chengdu Business Daily and said they support Bian’s oyster fry, as well as welcome more Sichuan people to travel to Denmark and help solve an oyster crisis in the country.
Giant oysters, a much-loved commodity in China, are said to be overrunning Denmark’s beaches, causing concern among local fishermen.
Data from China’s Zhiyan organization showed Chinese people consumed some 4.5 million tons of oysters in 2015, an annual rise of some 5%.
The Danish embassy in Beijing says it is willing to begin sending their oyster reserves to China, provided they get interested local parties involved.
