They have shark's fin soup on the menu. :/

:( I realise it is considered a delicacy but it is horrible.

You can get a pretend shark's fin soup, but I don't know whether that's what they have.

Is there some conservation issue here?

More a case of cruelty. Sharks are caught, have their fins cut off while still alive and thrown back into the sea. Without their fins, they can't swim properly and starve to death (if they don't die from blood loss).

Ugh! Also quite bizarre - you'd think processing a dead shark would be a lot easier and safer.
