Servi en soupe, l'aileron de requin est en Chine un mets raffiné qui agrémente les plus beaux banquets. Avec l'augmentation du niveau de vie, le plat, hier réservé aux tablées impériales, s'est démocratisé, même s'il reste un plaisir luxueux, servi seulement dans les grandes occasions, comme les repas de mariage. 1, record 1, French, - aileron%20de%20requin
