My parents and I went to Ming’s Restaurant inside the Raddison Hotel at Schaumburg, IL today to use a coupon my dad got on Restaurant.com.

This is a food that we usually get at most Asian restaurants. I believe it is called hot and cold salad in English.

This is seasoned breaded shrimp.

Finally, this is shark’s fin.

The shark’s fin tasted horrible the the sauce they used made me gag. Not only that, my dad told me that when fishermen go out to harvest for shark’s fin, they catch shark, cut off their fins, then throw the body of the shark back into the water because people tend to only like eating the fins and not the meat. This effectively leaves the sharks without a method of transportation, so they sink to the bottom of the ocean in pain and die.

So you shouldn’t eat shark’s fin.

All of these photos have been added to the foursquare venue page for Ming’s Restaurant, so if you ever go there, you’ll see them.
