The Chinese often use shark fin soup to express their hospitality to their guests, but due to the increasing awareness on the finning of sharks and its impact on shark populations, many have sworn against consuming it any longer. Why not replace the real thing with a healthier, vegetarian version that is eco-friendly as well?
