Shark fins are surpassed in cost only by such foods as some caviar and truffles.
Shark fins are primarily used as an ingredient in shark fin soup in Asia. With a cost of one bowl of soup around $100 US, the dried shark fins cost anywhere from $100 to $300 per pound, depending upon the fin and species. A single Whale Shark pectoral fin can sell for up to $15,000.
