Mercury in shark’s fin and abalone

I DON'T agree with the Malaysian chef who said that his soup made of abalone and shark’s fin was “nutritious and healthy” in the article “RM712 for a bowl of soup ” (The Star, Nov 18).  

Shark’s fin contains a high level of toxic mercury as does farm-raised abalone.
