Fresh Abalone

Fresh Abalone is a type of shellfish that is tailor-made for creative cuisine: original, naturally tender with a unique taste to make any dish stand out.

Fresh Abalone have a crisp chewy texture with a distinct saltiness of their sea habitat. It is also simultaneously rich and sweet with a buttery finish. Fresh Abalone also has hints of umami, which makes it popular in Asian cooking.

Live abalones 6-7cm in length, this is the perfect size for great flavoured, tender and easy-to-prepare abalones.

Fresh Abalone is perfect for panfrying or braising but can also be enjoyed raw. How to prepare Abalone: Abalone needs to be shucked, cleaned, and tenderized or the meat will have a rubbery texture. To gently release the meat from the shell, a wide, flat, wooden spatula works well. It is sometimes soaked or blanched before shelling. The viscera (guts), black edges, and tough outer skin are then removed. This leaves the meat tenderized and ready to eat.
