This is a picture of the shark fin soup I had at a wedding I went to. Shark fin soup or shark fins soup (as some call it) is sometimes served at Chinese weddings or special occasions. It is often on the menu at nice Chinese restaurants, but I hear that sometimes the actual shark fins in them are not real and in fact are imitation shark fins. This is a relief because I don't think it would be a nice idea to eat real shark fins, as sharks should not be endangered just so that their fins can be consumed. I like the overall taste of the soup, but I don't think I will try to make it at home, since I don't have a shark fins soup recipe.
