Shark finning is when people cut the fins off of the shark and put it into soup and eat it, then they put the rest of the shark into the ocean to just let it die. The cartilage in the fins is usually shredded and used primarily to provide texture and thickening to shark fin soup, a traditional Chinese soup or broth dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279). The dish is considered a luxury item embodying notions of hospitality, status, and good fortune. Sharks are important in our ocean because they help with coral and everything in the ocean.
The fin-shark soup played an important role as an indicator of social standing. It has the consistency close to noodles but it has no flavor of nutritional value so people add chicken broth to make it taste like something. It was first created by an Emporer in the sun dynasty during the Chinese golden era. The dish was made to represent the wealth, power, and generosity of the Emporer.
