Gordon Ramsey - Shark Bait
Shark fin soup drives a global trade that kills tens of millions of sharks a year, and chef Gordon Ramsay sets out to see the supply chain firsthand. He gets in the water with bull sharks, watches finning operations where fins are sliced off and the animal is discarded, and talks to the fishermen who make their living from the catch. The film follows him into restaurants and markets where shark fin soup is served as a status dish, and he presses chefs and diners on why the tradition persists even as shark populations collapse. Rather than treating the trade as simple villainy, the film lets fishermen explain the economics that keep them in it, and lets chefs defend a dish with real cultural weight in Chinese cuisine. Ramsay's own reaction, part fascination with the animal and part anger at the waste, drives the pacing more than narration does. It ends without a tidy fix, just a clearer picture of what a bowl of soup costs an ocean.
