Before I understood that eating shark's fin threatened the animal's survival, I ate the famously subtle Cantonese delicacy (they're prized for their texture, not their mild flavor) with enormous pleasure. But it's been years since I've had shark's fin, and I'm happy it is now illegal to possess them in many states. Sharks grow slowly, and the practice of fishing them for their fins plays havoc with the ocean's food chain.
