Crayfish lovers tested their knowledge of the much-loved delicacy while waiting for a crayfish feast to begin on a Beijing street that features a line of restaurants that serve the crustaceans. 

More than 10 restaurants along the street jointly held the quiz and the customer who got the highest marks was rewarded with an online shopping coupon worth 16,180 yuan ($2,343).

The nine multiple choice questions included how to properly eat crayfish, how to tell if a crayfish is fresh, and the scientific name for crayfish.

Many customers sitting in front of the restaurants were seen seriously pouring over the quiz and using their mobile phones to search for correct answers.

"The test questions are too difficult," a customer complained as he thought hard about winning the prize.

The man who won the quiz said he owed his victory to his years of experience gobbling crayfishes. "I took the exam casually," the winner said.
