Alas, I don't know of any dim sum restaurants that have vowed to use only wild shrimp. I fear the cost would be prohibitive. But hopefully, some day in the future, this will be a viable choice for diners. And I'm with you on Yank Sing. Incredible dim sum. The restaurant also holds a special place in my heart because it's where my husband and I had our wedding banquet. I still think about that meal, even now. That’s a really good point, Jacqueline.

I have some concerns now in most places about the shrimp. I'm sure they're using imported shrimp from Thailand, China etc. The toxins and such don't disspate from the shrimp as they do from the pork, apparently. I have to say I now stay away from har gow because of that. Of course many of the dumplings mix pork and shrimp. When I do eat it now I just try to forget this and pray that my kidney doesn't fail from the melamine and such. Anyone out there on the PC left coast doing dim sum with safely harvested domestic shrimp? At least we still have siu nap and char siu. Sun ling Fai lok!

Selba, you must visit the area some day to check it out for yourself. It's good eating all around. San Francisco definitely has bragging rights for great dim sum.
