High-quality shark fins are mostly golden in color, with no flesh membrane, no bones, no insect bites, large and thick wings, and relatively dry. Under the light, you can see that the wing tips are thick and dense. 2. The price of shark fin is divided according to its dryness. The drier it is, the more expensive it is. The dryness can be seen from its curvature. The more uneven it is (proving that it contains less water), the drier it is. The louder the sound when knocked and the drier it feels, the better. Compared with the same type of shark fin, the one with a "golden mountain head" at the root (the meat of the wing head has been cut off) is the best, and the shark fin contains more fin. 2How are shark fins graded?Shark fins are classified by color into six types: yellow, white, gray, blue, black, and mixed (yellow and white). Yellow, white, and gray are the best. Due to different origins and roasting methods, shark fins are divided into freshwater and saltwater. Freshwater fins are dried in the sun or soaked in lime water, and have better quality; saltwater fins are soaked in salt water, and their quality is inferior to freshwater fins. Shark fins can also be classified by whether they are complete or not. The fins that become a whole wing after swelling are called row wings, which are of high quality; the fins that are scattered into strips after swelling are called scattered wings, which are of inferior quality. 3How to make shark fin delicious1.
