The French crave goose liver, the Italians want white truffles, and the Japanese seem to go for any kind of exotic fish.
Chinese specialties abound, but one of the most unique is shark's fin.
It is true that the texture itself is incomparable. The broth, in which it is served, is prepared with extreme care and attention and although no seafood is added to the broth in its preparation, the soup enhances perfectly the unique taste of the dish. Fortunately people know that shark's fin is not obtained through industrial means. Nobody can control the catch and if the demand increases, then prices also go up. This is what is happening right now.
