Are you fond of street food like fried fish balls and seafood tempura? If so, chances are, you’ve tasted shark meat. A truck containing chopped bodies of at least 14 thresher sharks was apprehended Wednesday night in Naga City bound for a seafood processor plant in Mactan. Close to 470 kilos of frozen white shark meat in plastic bags were recovered by a team from the Cebu Provincial Anti-Illegal Fishing Task Force, which was tipped off about the cargo. - http://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/2...thresher-sharks-for-fishballs-tempura-seized/
Yep. I guess people are trying but there's a demand out there. I know recently that the high end establishments in Cebu have backed this and are refusing to serve shark fin. More need to get on board to change attitudes
