Hans have you see this video by Chef Gordon Ramsay about Shark Fin Soup. Good video.
And here the full version of above video.
The important note that I can extract from this video are:
1- The soup is mixed with chicken and pork stock to flavor the shark fin soup.
2- The shark fin is actually have no flavor. Taste like a Glass Noodle - Bihun or Laksa.
3 -So the fin is not the main ingredient that make the soup great.
4- It is the expensive soup in the world and indirectly represent the symbol of wealth status.
5- Fins are 5% of the shark body part that "valuable". Other 95% is worthless, they throw it away back to sea.
6- Some some shark fin consumers are not aware of this endangered species.
7- 60% reduction of shark population within 9 years !! Just in 9 years we lose 60% of shark population !!
8- They don't care what about the species, as long it is a shark.
9- Hammerhead shark only giving birth once a year and took many years to be matured. Been killed before they can be reproduce.
10 - USD2/kilo for the shark meat and USD28/kilo for the shark fins directly from fisherman before middleman.
11-
thresher shark meat used as a bait.
12-
