A lot of the locals on this rock are of Hawaiian/Chinese ancestry. Culturally, they get conflicted sometimes. The Hawaiian part says to respect/protect/preserve the sharks. The Chinese part says that eating shark fin soup will bring good luck, and screw the Hawaiians!
In the end, Hawaii became the first state in the union to ban the possession, sale, and trade of shark fin. The state will probably pass a law soon making it illegal to kill a shark in our waters.
The shark fin is composed mostly of cartilage, which is that soft stuff one finds in the ends of chicken bones. The Chinese love that stuff! Why? I don't know. I have seen shark fin soup when I was a kid. The whole thing just gave me the willies. Ditto for bird nest soup which is made from dried bird saliva. Given the choice, I'd probably opt for the shark fin. Luckily, that probably won't ever happen - thank god!

Some help that will do. All they have to do is move to the American southeast. Shark fin soup is legal there.
