    Not every culture does this inhumane! My culture uses everything possible from the shark including for medicine, and uses left over cartilage to make candles to light areas that don’t use electricity usually for spiritual purposes. Quit generalizing just because you think you know everything about something you never fully lived in! It’s also preserved for special occasions because of the high price. Any other time shark fins aren’t used and it’s chicken or pork for “imitation” shark fin soup. If not that then vegetarian version. Don’t speak if you don’t know all sides to a situation!

    Wokkingmum says this is a once a year thing and only when she can "affort" it and it's available. Her rationalization is like saying she only kills a person once a year and only when available. No, it doesn't make it OK that you do it "once a year" -- and I'm doubtful it's only once a year. Given that millions of people feel as she does, it's time for her to rethink -- and replace this recipe with her vegetarian version.

    I can't believe how ignorant people in Asian are in regards to this soup. The entire ocean ecosystem is at risk because of shark finning, and you're concerned about how the soup tastes? A species that existed 200 million years before Dinosaurs roamed the earth is on the brink of extinction and cunts like Dingzhong are commenting on the soups texture. I am baffled. If I ever meet you, Dingzhong, I'll drag you up onto my boat, cut off all your limbs and throw you back in the water. See how you like it.

    Anybody who eats this should be brutally murdered by a shark.

    I'm definately with Esdelo on this one. There are foods we have aneed to snub.
    Most of the worlds sharks have vanished into soup bowls as the Chinese middle class grows and forever demands more of it.
    It is harvested in the most brutal manner and all so on one culture can have one soup if they can afford it?
    My painting of this topic underlines my point.

    " It was good "
    wokkingmum ate it and said...
    okay, I guess that's one of the reason some people decided to be a vegetarian?

    It's a once a year thing for us if we can affort and available anyway. There's always vegetarian shark's fin. We tried that this year and it wasnt half as bad!

    As the daughter of a commercial fisherman, I can tell you that if you could witnes how they get the fins for shark's fin soup, you would not eat it. They slice off the shark's dorsal fin and then throw the sharks back into the water to die, as they can no longer swim. It's despicable and even my father was disgusted by the practice and refused to participate. Just thought you should know.
