Humans use shark fins for shark fin soup and humans use shark liver for soap they also cut out the liver and throw the dead corpse of the shark out of the boat into the ocean

The shark's meat is thrown out because it is of low value. They also eat their fins it is said to be a very tasty dish it is very sad to hear such things.

A lot of people cutting off the shark fins, and throw the rest of the shark back into the ocean to die. The shark fin is used to make shark fin soup. Some people eat the rest of the shark, but, the fin is the most valuable part.

Sharks killed just for their fins are usually killed to procure the eponymous ingredient for shark fin soup. Shark fin soup (or shark's fin soup) is a popular soup item of Chinese cuisine usually served at special occasions such as weddings and banquets, or as a luxury item in Chinese culture. The fin is primarily added to provide texture while the taste comes from the other soup ingredients. Genuine shark fin soup or stew is made with shark fins obtained from any of a variety of shark species; certain shark species have been identified over the centuries as supplying the tastiest and most succulent fins. Preferred shark species for fins are tiger, mako, sawfish,sandbar, bull,hammerhead, blacktip,porbeagle, blue and threshersharks. Not all the fins actually come from true sharks. The shark-like rays (the shovelnose rays and sawfishes) are thought to supply the highest quality fin. Fins from the white-spotted guitarfish (Rhynchobatus spp.) are considered to be most valuable. Other Fins from the critically endangered sawfishes (family Pristidae) are highly favored in Asian markets and are some of the most valuable "shark" fins.
