They cut the fins off and throw the shark back in the water. Disgusting stupid industry for stupid people.

Why do they not harvest the whole fish? Soupfin sharks provide some of the better-tasting shark meat.

The price per pound for the fins can be 10 to 100 times more than the rest of the meat.

If your boat can carry a limited amount of volume/weight, better to fill it with something that goes for $100/lb than $4/lb.
