Shark fins dried in the sun in tsunami-hit Kesennuma

KESENNUMA, Japan - Shark fins, a local specialty of tsunami-hit Kesennuma, are dried in the sun as part of their processing as a luxury food item, in the Miyagi Prefecture city on Oct. 17, 2011, after shark catches were landed at the Kesennuma port. The fins were suspended by strings because drying platforms were washed away by the March 11 tsunami.
