Anyone feel guilty eating this?

Yes. But don't know whether it is ammonia or something similiar; it smells like urine. And also stingrays and skates.
Foie Gras originated in Egypt. It is not common in the West. Only consumed by those who consider themselves "gastronomically aware." Same category as Shark's Fin. They are both high-priced foods for suckers.
Cheers!
A lot of this can be found on youtube ... chickens having their throats half-severed by an incompetent butcher and then left to die an agonizing death, etc. I think if you just google you can find the videos.
Sixty bucks for one bowl of soup is darn expensive to me. Should be the price for the whole shark!
Cheers!
Baby sharks already eat each other in their mommy's womb:o Can't we paralyze the shark and inseminate
Religion is a social, political and emotional powder keg that must be dealt with carefully by politicians. This Halal issue is not going to go away.
My view is that some amount of pain is unavoidable but the point is to make sure the slaughter is as swift as possible. Whether Halal method is cruel or not is up to individual opinion. In my opinion those incompetent butchers leaving chicken heads half-severed are far crueler.
If u buy shark fin and cook at home it will not be $60 a bowl . Don't forget , when u dine in any restaurant you have to pay alot for many hidden cost

U can't just paralyze a shark and inseminate them cause they will under stress and will die eventually .
Thank you TFBH I will look them up in youtube. Surely there must be an international NGO on animals rights.
Oh drifter its not only just one big dorsal fin, they also cut all the other fins like the pectoral, anal and tail fins too. Thats why after cutting them the shark can no long swim after being thrown back into the sea.

Agree that when we dine out, we pay a lot of overheads. However for this particular dish, it is still way overpriced.
The fin is added only for the texture, the taste comes from the stock and crab meat (or other flavours). For ten dollars more - I can get a whole duck - at the same restaurant.
No matter how they claim, shark's fin has become a prestige dish served at conspicuous Chinese dinners - weddings and business luncheons.
Cheers!
Yes I agree that sharks fin itself is tasteless ..but to catch a shark and sell their fins only...that alone make this fish fin so expensive .. caviar and bird nest are also expensive .

I only feel guilty when not eating them.
Ok, points noted. I will continue having my sharks fin soup. Not much time left for them. Not much time left for me too. I have it at least once a month. Sometimes twice. Vinegar is a must for me. Without it, taste not so shiok. I also throw in the chilli padi. Seepay best!
Vinegar for me not necessary but brandy is a must, not too much though and lots of pepper.
Brandy and pepper optional for me. But die die must have lots of vinegar and chilli padi. Vinegar also needed when I take hot and sour soup. But when comes to women, I seldom 'eat vinegar'. Too old liao.
Bro GD, seriously women come and go, no need to jia-chor. So better to pay and forget. You're right, too old liao, forget about romance liao la. I'm a lover of Cordon Bleu like you, one day, just one day we must do this in Bangkok.

Forgot to add I love vinegar in fish maw soup too.
When younger, always eat vinegar wrt women. Part of growing up I guess. In mid-40s, bo feeling liao. I think the right word to use is insensate?
I used to hang flower for a singer quite consistently. One fine day, she asked if I was jealous when someone else hung $500 for her. I told her I was most pleased coz won't need to hang for her that particular night. Saved $100.
As long as not beer or stout, I am fine.
