Shrimp's up! Chaos reigns as hungry hordes fight over plates of jumbo shrimp at all-you-can-eat buffet in China
The shellfish delicacy normally costs a whopping 35 yuan apiece (£3.73)
Crowds pile their dishes high with one woman taking three plates away
They use their hands and plates to scoop up the pricey treat
An all-you-can-eat buffet is always a time for excitement...but especially in China when jumbo shrimp is on offer.
Hilarious footage shows a crowd of people desperately cramming the normally expensive shellfish onto their plates, elbowing others aside as they do.
The horde use all their wiles to make the most of this opportunity and one woman even has three piled high - yet still doesn't leave the buffet table.
Commercial shrimp species reportedly support an industry worth £35million (50 billion dollars) a year.
Shrimp farming in fact originated in China and took off in the 1980's.
About 75 per cent of farmed shrimp are produced in Asia, in particular in China, Thailand and in the Philippines.
The other 25 per cent are produced mainly in Latin America, where Brazil is the largest producer.
The largest exporting nation is Thailand..
