| | Shark fin soup - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It is commonly served in chicken broth, with culinary fungus and pork to enhance the texture and taste. | | | Fresh shark fin is rarely used in cuisine, and is almost always used in dry form. | | | Dried shark fin is prepared by first reconstituting in clear meat stock made from either Chinese dried ham or chicken. |

| | The flavour of shark fin soup lies entirely on the preparation of the broth, which is usually chicken soup. | | | As Chinese tradition dictates, sharks' fin soup is an obligatory dish served at wedding dinners. | | | A leading chef in Singapore explained, "the fins with their noodle-like cartilaginous tissues have no taste in themselves and are used only as a soup thickener." It is certainly a real shame that this ancient species, one of nature's most successful designs, is threatened with ecological endangerment because of its role as a soup thickener. |
