The outspoken Leung is bullish about the future. "No matter the state of the economy, people know that we are not at the lower end of the market, but we deliver quality. And if the product itself gets overpriced, customers will gently switch to eating bird's nest or abalone," Leung said.

And for the fake

Yes, some establishments do serve fake shark's fin. It is a pity because there is simply no substitute for original. How can you see it? Take a tiny piece and try to reduce it to pieces fine as sand. If it sticks together, then it's not the real thing.

Long ago, the promoters of the Champagne Taittinger came up with a simple hence classy advert punch line "Should it be only once in your life?" This also applies to shark's fin. Try it soon.
