*Count count* Five Finless Baby Sharks, aka Pups. Kesian... Kecik-kecik dah kena tangkap, dan semua sirip (fins) kena potong pulak. But, err... I saw 2 weird looking baby sharks with flat facies in that group of five, aka The Famous Five (not Enid's Blyton's "The Famous Five" - Timmy, George, Anne, Dick & Julian though).
The weird looking HammerHead Pups (thanks to Rinnah for the name) with flat facies. o.O at the position of the eyes... Geli lah.. Wonder what sort of vision this pup had...
Now, I feel like holding his eyes pulak.. Don't you think it resembles bikes throttles from this angle? Kkkkkkk... And, Mmmm... and somehow it also reminds me of snail, the siput babi :P
This "normal looking" but finless baby shark lagi keng.. Half way eating, dah kena tangkap liao.. Take note of the little fish inside his mouth. Poor fellow :(Message of the Day :
Poor Baby Sharks/Pups.

ReplyDeleteBut I seriously doubt if the restaurants ever given us real sharkfins... they look like our favourite tang hoon only...
i can imagine they throw some back to the sea after cutting off their fins. unless they happen to want to sell their meat too. humans are sometimes more cruel than animals.

I don't like to eat sharks fin....not nice....
ReplyDeleteI prefer fishmaw....
But but I like sharks meat boh..how like dat?

ReplyDeleteEating shark fins is just like eating cartilage…
The shark fins is actually "tasteless"
But many still wants to savour the dish..
Poor sharks :(
ac,
Woh.. o.O
First time I see ac scolding ******
Really kesian those sharks..
Being victimized..
papercrazy,
Fish maw ah?
Hehehe… the so called "pelampung" :P
According the grandma stories..
If u eat lotsa fish maw, u will have no difficulty to float in the water..
LOL
Wah.. o.O
u eat shark meat??
first time i hear ppl eating shark meat..
How does shark meat taste like ah?
o.O again...
shark meat got people eat wan. i ever see one stall sell the meat in a gelatine form, i mean, the meat inside, sama inside square pieces of agar agar liddat. i don't know how to eat them. they also sell the shark meat goreng-ed i think. or er.. just white white pieces not goreng-ed, dipped in vinegar and ginger or something liddat.
ReplyDeleteLike eating hands and feets of someone lei. I dun go out of the way to order fin to eatla and have discouraged others lor telling them you wanna eat your own feet and hands ? hahaha, many was surprised and felt really sick :) Cheers!
ReplyDeleteaiyooo... so small already kena killed for its fins. tsk tsk tsk....
ReplyDeleteI do eat sharks fins soup every now and then at dinner functions. In China it is worse, all the banquets must have it or else the host will lose face.
I think if I swim in the sea, the sharks will smell me from afar and attack me wan!hehehe....
er... chen - What is Balik Pulau Durian?
aiyoh, kasihan neh (-_-)....but dunno if I could say no to shark fin soup ler, so yum....emm....will try my best lah.
ReplyDeletesay no to shark say no to fin!!
ReplyDeletei ate baby shark twice in my life leh..everytime i makan them i feel guilty...
sighs!
now i eat fillet o fish only..
*imagines shark patty...*
ReplyDelete*slaps*
misti,
ReplyDeleteI so suaku liao…
I dunno about all these :(
Proven I never eat shark meat loh.. :P
I presume u never tasted it before too?
Or have u?
Kkkkkkkkkkk….
JoeC,
What an analogy :)
But it’s true…
Cutting the fins off from the shark is similar as amputate the limbs…
Very cham..
Summore, there are fishermen who cut off the fins from the sharks,
and then release "the injured" finless sharks back to the sea or ocean…
*&^%$#
Very kejam :(
that one time probably. becos other times i can't distinguish. but stink ray different look i suppose. kkkk.
ReplyDeletethat one time was the same stall selling the gelatine ones. i tried the white white un-goreng-ed one. small plate, i took about 3 cubes, then next day sore throat. kkk, maybe heaty. more likely not used to. and that was 20yrs ago liao. never after that already.
eastcoastlife,
ReplyDeleteI know what u mean,
Eg, in wedding dinner..
If shark fin soup is not served and being substituted with some other ingredients..
The host will lost face..
But nowadays things are a bit different liao..
Especially for the younger generations..
The last few wedding dinners that I attended,
The shark fin soup was substituted with some other soup :)
Balik Pulau produces the best durian, the grade A+ durian.
Have a look at this website & read about the Balik Pulau durian..
U will know what is it about liao ;)
Abuthen, I have slowed down in eating durian for the past few years…
doreen,
ReplyDeleteActually hoh, the shark fin itself is tasteless...
The soup will still taste good even without the shark fin ;)
Really wan..
winn,
U ate the cute little ones before ah?
I always curious how they cook the poor little fella..
Curious only lah..
I dun have the heart to eat them
Shark patty?
o.O
*piak with sotong*
*PIAKS*
misti,
Stingray looks different..
20 years ago?
My goodness…
That was indeed ages ago liao :P
U can still remember what u eat ah?
Good lah u :P
ooooooh so pitiful. no sharkfin for me unless wedding day, then no choice lor. i think can substitute with sharkfin melon wor, besides sharkfin are tasteless, merely adds texture to the soup.
ReplyDeletep.s: btw, where is this place?
errr...with curry...heheheheheh
ReplyDeletei onli eat mama,papa,kong kong shak but not small shak pin coz no meat... ;)
ReplyDeletesoli its not shak pin pish ball but its shak meat pish ball coz the meat is cheap...
slurp,
ReplyDeleteyeah, shark fin is tasteless.
The soup itself will taste nice with the appropriate ingredients, even without shark fin. The presence of shark fin is more for "show" :D
The photo was taken in Brunei.
winn,
baby sharks with curry?
o.O
ah nel,
shark fin memang tiada "meat" woh, regardless baby or mama papa kongkong. cos u only eat the fin mah, not the meat :P
hug by sharks? haha! wait I go hug them and see, then come back and tell you ya..
ReplyDeletethat is if I make it alive. gulp. :P
butt,
ReplyDeleteThe first impression I get when imagining Butt being hugged by shark is.. a WET Butt, dribbling with sea water (cannot imagine a dry shark hugging her though)!!
LOL
Hammerhead are very different kind of sharks too. Not vicous like some sharks if I recall right.
ReplyDeleteNever had shark fin soup before. And I am I okay if I never do.
Will the do anything with the rest of the shark or is it just a big waste?
SA,
ReplyDeleteI see. I dunno much about hammerhead shacks. Very unique & "weird" sharks. Must read more about the sharks liao :)
Some of them, they released the injured finless sharks back to the sea or ocean. Very cruel though.. :( Some will harvest the meat too..
