Authorities say the best way to control the invasive species of fish, is to eat them.

The fish, which is native to Asia, is a major predator in its new ecosystem and is seen as a threat to native species.

And now, putting the torpedo-shaped snakehead on the menu is Washington-area restaurants’ way of helping to control these newcomers.
