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.


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!
