A few invasive sea lampreys from the US Great Lakes have been shipped to England for use in a traditional pie for Queen Elizabeth II.
The Detroit Free Press newspaper reports that the City of Gloucester requested the eel-like creatures because they're a protected species in England. The pie is for June's Diamond Jubilee, the 60th anniversary of the queen's ascent to the throne.
The city has given the pie as a gift to the monarch since the Middle Ages.
Great Lakes Fishery Commission spokesman Marc Gaden shipped 2 (.9 kilograms) pounds of frozen lamprey. He says officials "would prefer to send them truckloads."
Lampreys got into the Great Lakes through Atlantic shipping canals in the 1920s and have threatened native fish ever since.
