Fin Set

Fin Set

Shark fins can be found on many Chinese restaurant menus and on display in many apothecaries in the Chinatown sections of cities worldwide. The fins are treated with great reverence by Chinese people as aphrodisiacs. But the popularity of shark fins is running into a storm of opposition as the population of sharks throughout the world is allegedly being reduced to near-extinction. There is much trouble ahead for people devoted to the reputation of these special items.

Shark fin is usually served as a main ingredient in soup. The fin is cut from the body of the shark and consists primarily of cartilage. Those who have eaten the soup report that the fin itself has little intrinsic taste; whatever taste the soup has comes from the other ingredients.

Serving shark fin soup is a conspicuous sign of wealth among the Chinese people. Proud parents often go to great pains to make sure to serve shark fin soup at the gatherings celebrating the marriages of their children. It is at these times that the reputation of shark fin as an aphrodisiac is enhanced.

But this reputation is leading to great trouble, warn many environmentalist groups. The new-found wealth of China is leading more people to indulge their desire for this special soup -- both at weddings and at other times. Fishermen all over the world are catching shark fins and selling them to the eager Chinese chefs.

To make matters worse -- even a little gruesome -- the expanding desire for shark fin is leading to a practice called 'finning.' It is said that fishermen catch sharks, haul them aboard ship, cut off the fins, then throw the still-living shark back into the water. This is said to be a space-saving gesture, since there is little demand for shark meat, thus no need to haul the rest of the shark's body to port after the fins are removed. Needless to say, sharks without fins cannot maneuver in water. A finless shark is condemned to die a quick, sad death.

Most fishermen are aware of the very bad reputation of 'finning.' Few will admit to practicing it. Nevertheless, each day tons of shark are caught by fishermen from almost every nation of the world, the fins are sold into the growing Chinese market, yet few people consume the meat or any other part of the shark. Whether this practice is leading to overfishing and the possible extinction of subspecies of sharks is a matter of heated debate.

At this moment in history it is hard to find solid support for the claim that shark fin is a reliable aphrodisiac. Certainly many Chinese people fervently want to believe this claim and repeat the story to anyone who listens. But that is not sufficient or satisfactory proof for the scientifically inclined. In today's controversial environment -- where shark fishing is looked upon with condemnation -- few researchers are likely to launch full-scale studies on the subject. Imagine the uproar if a scientist actually found proof of the effectiveness of shark fin as an aphrodisiac. One could easily expect that researcher's laboratory to be picketed 24 hours a day by harsh critics. For that reason, the reputation of shark fin as an aphrodisiac will probably remain up in the air and scientifically unverified for a long time. Believe it if you want, or disbelieve it and be supported by many alarmed environmentalists.

Fin De Curso $11.25 Rated: NRSynopsis: Sometimes you just gotta go for it! It's the final year of high school, and the last thing the "bad kids" want to do is learn! They're all for spending the class trip sampling the sun and sex of Spain's wild beaches, but the more academically minded kids want to immerse themselves in the museums and culture of Paris. It's up to perpetual loser Jaime (Jordi Vilches,Dos Tipos Duros) to cast the deciding vote. All he wants to do is hook up with the tantalizing Marta, who has her heart set on Paris. What he didn't count on is that the bad kids can be very, very persuasive. A fun teenage romp in the vein of American Pie, this hip comedy earns high marks for hilarity!
