    It is not so much that it is not nice, it's the fact it tastes of nothing and has a texture too similar to snot.

    Can't see the point in it myself.

    I like the flavour but that doesn't come from the shark's fin. The fake one served in some street markets is as good. It's more a textural thing and of course the old 'it's expensive therefore I must have it on my banquet menu'.

    I have been refusing it for many, many years. I think it will take quite some time for it to disappear and that many of the older generation will stick to it. I believe the younger generation are more aware and caring.

    Good work is being done to help the moon bears too - awareness and education are the key.

    I was horrified by this story.

    I agree the texture is not great either.

    FiHKG Moon bears have such a S&$T deal and will be happy when it is stopped.
