    To my understanding, sharks are endangered solely because of their fins. Without that driving demand, they’re at no greater risk than any other fish.

      Yes…shark fin soup…a recipe you have to hunt for, cook, and serve in the game.

      And they certainly are inherently more risky than other fish because of their slow reproduction cycle. That’s why sharks are endangered, and tuna are still doing ok.
