Shark Fin Soup

Does anyone know what kinds of spices or flavorings are used in this? We don't have any shark fins here, but my husband wants me to flavor some rice noodles in a similar way.

You could use skate wings for a similar flavour.

B'sgirl won't understand this but I'm going to get it out in the open right here in the beginning.

B'sgirl is asking for SPICES that go in this soup - she is not making the actual soup - so everyone that wants to jump down her throat like you did to the last person that asked about shark fin soup - DON'T!

Those posts that don't actually help her will be removed.

Looks like from a google search it's a traditional scallion & ginger flavor, but lifted with a little sherry or ginger wine if you can find it. Glad you're not using Shark's fins.. those articles made me queasy!

The skate wings sound like a nice alternative. A yummy-sounding soup (sans fins). Thanks for bringing up the topic, it was enlightening on dual fronts.

Yes, good clarification, Kitchenelf. I wouldn't be caught dead cooking shark fin. Thanks for the link.
