You gotta love the respect for the ingredient... The challenger holds the large shark fin at 1:17 to keep it from tipping. That fin would be worth at least $25, 000 even $50, 000 now, with depleted supply and concerns of mercury poisoning... The older, preserved fins have become that much more valuable.
Shark cartilage is revered in Asian culture for it's medicinal youthful qualities, much like how collagen is being recognized in Western medicine today.

@Traces1000 You never had them. They do have a slight taste. Stop watching Gordan Ramseys documentary and go make your own opinion

Not sure when this show aired, but those two upright shark fins at the head of the table would be worth about $30,000 - $40,000 today.
