PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a shark fin-like foodstuff having an appearance and a texture similar to those of a natural shark fin. SOLUTION: This shark fin-like foodstuff contains sodium alginate, gelatin, and xanthan gum as main components, wherein the sodium alginate, the gelatin, and the xanthan gum are contained in amounts satisfying the following: a point for designating each of contents of the components and expressed in triangular coordinates (A, G, X) [A, G, and X are contents (wt%) of the sodium alginate, the gelatin, and the xanthan gum based on the total amount of the composition, respectively] is positioned within a quadrilateral area which is formed by sequentially connecting points a (92.5, 5, 2.5), b (25, 72.5, 2.5), c (25, 20, 55), and d (40, 5, 55) located in the triangular coordinates.
