Sharks' fins pulled from Swissotel The Stamford's private dining rooms

Today Online 5 Mar 12;

SINGAPORE - Hot on the heels of hotels that have hauled sharks' fins from their shelves, Swissotel The Stamford today announced it had ceased serving sharks' fins at its four private dining rooms at Equinox Complex since Jan 1.

Together with affiliate Fairmont Singapore, the two hotel's combined 16 restaurants have now completely eliminated sharks' fins from all of its menu, said Swissotel The Stamford in its press release.

The hotel said its commitment to preserve the diversity of the oceans also extends to other endangered marine species such as the Chilean seabass and the Bluefin tuna.

Guests who book the venues will be offered alternatives without the controversial ingredient.
