morphological character

Sharks are cartilaginous fish with fins shaped like vermicelli.

The reason why shark's fin can be eaten is that shark's fin contains a vermicelli-like tendon, which contains about 80% minerals such as protein, fat and sugar, but it is difficult to absorb, so eating an egg absorbs more nutrients than shark's fin. Driven by huge profits, people kill a lot of sharks in order to get precious cooking materials.
