Anyone feel guilty eating this?

There will be many more things one can put on the table if one doesn't consume shark's fins soup. Stupidly expensive dish.

Cheers!

You are right, I guess if replacing sharks fins with fish maw it will take great too.

At a Chinese restaurant, the first thing that comes to my mind will be Peking Duck!!!

For soups, I'm not big on them, but someone else will likely make a good choice!

Cheers!

I actually feel bad now after eating this pot of sizzling hot shark fin soup at Scala restaurant in Chinatown this afternoon. Reason is its like I'm contributing to the inhumane slaughtering of sharks. But I have to confess I don't feel bad while eating. Does anyone of you feel bad while or after eating sharks fin soup?

Nope, I feel extremely happy eating the sharks fin, tasty and delicious...I WANT TO eat more,,,

 

[GoldenDragon]

Maybe I don't have a conscience. I don't feel guilty at all. I enjoy it best at Thai Village.

Bro Unrepented said someone will commercialise it when it tilts towards extinction. I agree.

 

[flkyflky]

Must eat lah.

 

[KNNBCCB]

Feel guilty or not ???

no right ???

hahaha....GD, if by commercialising you mean raising them in farms.....then I have to tell you this not possible.
maybe you can contact your brother, Sea Dragon king and see if he can help.

 

[HedgeTrader]

This type so solid sharkfin if I see and dont eat then I feel guilty LOL

 

[Unrepented]

Why not? We are keep sharks for display in aquariums. So technically can be done, just to find a productive and cost efficient method only mah.

Like to hear why cannot.

Please lah, you really buy into this rubbish "extinction" or "cruelty" theory??? How about Foire Gras for you? Western food, no regrets, eh?

Have you even seen a real, live shark swimming in the open sea (not aquarium)? How often? So, how could you possibly "missed" them if they are really extinct? And, don't you like to surf, swim and play in shark-free waters?

Go swim in shark-infested waters, get out alive, come back here, then proclaim you support the ban of sharksfin soup. Substitute with turtle soup?

hahaha....i dunno what to say...i thought it was pretty obvious.
keeping a few sharks for display and farming sharks are 2 different matters.....some of the factors against viable commercial farmings are:
1. most sharks need a big expanse to roam because they have to be constantly on the move to prevent sinking and drowning
2. sharks produce very small number of live youngs per reproductive cycle
3. sharks mature slowly
anyway....i am no shark expert and had suggested that GD consult his brother the Sea Dragon King.

Bike, I also love to eat foire gras, I know very good place for this in Bangkok. But then you are right when they force feed the goose its quite cruel.

You are right Hedge about this pot of sharks fin. At Scala this one is 2000baht per pot (for 1 person) the fins are all in solid pieces not broken up. Put tao-gay inside is very shiok. So when I was eating I cannot think of anything but just eat. But after I ate and I driving I felt bad.

no right ???

KNNBCCB quite wasted la, this victim body look very nice.

Joe,

I am against inhumane slaughtering of animals for food. However, sad to to say, this is not limited to sharks. Govts all around the world are guilty of turning a blind eye to sloppy and substandard pratices by butcher houses.

I will continue to eat sharks and meat in general, but hope people will step up to force govts to enforce international norms of slaughtering animals more effectively.

 

[Jah_rastafar_I]

fyi i hear that sharks have lots of ammonia on them and you need to do something to them before you can cook them.

hmmmm very good point TFBH, unfortunately most of us are not aware of what's going on in the slaughterhouse. Is there anyway to find out more?

I heard a BBC report I think just last month that there were some MPs I think who opposed halal food being served in a government building kitchen because they opposed the way animals is being killed the Islamic way which they found it cruel.

I think there is a stall in Tiong Bahru market hawker centre serving Lor Mee with shark meat. I used to buy shark meat to catch crabs at Pasir Panjang.

halal way of killing is quite cruel but hey since it's THAT religion it somehow has to be accepted.

Bro, if shark can be captive breed I believe a lot of business minded man will do that .

If ppl want to breed these fish in the future they have to artically inseminate female sharks ( because some shark give live birth ) .. It's is impossible hard to inseminate a shark . And sharks can grow very big in a short time .. And when great white reach adulthood they will also eat other sharks ..
