Silo, an eco-friendly restaurant in London, has created a menu from invasive species.

These species are foreign to the UK and are harmful to its wildlife.

The restaurant aims to reduce the number of invasive species by eating them.

Douglas McMaster, who's the head chef, thinks they're tasty.

The menu includes signal crayfish which were brought from the USA.

They're grown on fish farms but some have escaped.

They've reproduced and are harming the UK's ecosystem.

Professor Karim Vahed thinks this is a good example of how invasive species hurt the environment.

Silo's trying to reduce invasive species by eating them.

But food companies don't sell the ingredients on Silo's menu.

The restaurant collects all the main ingredients from the wild.

This means the meal preparation takes a long time.

Vahed's worried about invasive species but he doesn't support Silo's solution.

He thinks it might make them popular with customers.

But McMaster thinks it will control invasive species' populations.
