Chinese eel has been sold under the guise of local Kaliningrad eel for decades – but this is about to end. In this respect TASS said Anton Alikhanov, Governor of the Kaliningrad region.
“I want to upset those who like to eat Kaliningrad eel. While 15 tons of real Kaliningrad eel were caught annually, if we count tourists as consumers, its consumption in the Kaliningrad region was 400 tons. That is, Chinese eel under the guise of Kaliningrad eel has been bought and consumed by you for decades,” said Alikhanov, a participant in the exhibition and forum “Russia” at VDNKh.
Alikhanov added that the situation will improve in the near future and that they plan to increase production in the region to 150 tons in six years. This will be possible thanks to Britain’s exit from the European Union and the region’s inclusion in the import program of glassy eel larvae.
