These are the same people who, thousands of years ago, invented gunpowder while trying to discover the secret to immortality. Let them dream.

They keep ecosystems in check.

I think the ocean is cool as fuck.
My opinion on sharks is changed.

[QUOTE=OvB;32449918]The fin adds no flavor at all. Just eat it without the fin.[/QUOTE]
Honestly, not that I agree with killing the sharks, but that's like saying "chicken noodle soup tastes the same without the chicken and the noodles, just drink the broth".

This post is relevant to your post:

This guy was replying to another using the same analogy as yours except he used sandwich and bread.

Chicken does have flavor to it though, whereas shark fin is a fibrous keratin. It has no flavor. Noodles add texture and absorb flavors, but they are not a potentially endangered species. I'd eat shark fin soup if it was substituted with chicken and noodles, that sounds delicious.

Unless you've cooked it yourself and added it, there really is minimal taste in the shredded bits of chicken that normally accompanies noodle soup.
And besides that, I wasn't arguing whether or not they were endangered, I was just commenting on your "flavor" post.

Texture does not count as flavor.
