It's a commentary on sharkfin soup in real life.

Sharks are often finned and then thrown back into the water. They're still alive but can't really swim, so they usually just sink to the bottom of the ocean and suffocate or get eaten. The fins have no taste, they're valued for their texture. And the soup is a luxury.
