.....eat the meat and keep the shell. ("Abalone" is a very special treat.)

First, you have to tenderized the abs. This means cutting it into steaks about 1/4" thick and pounding with a wooden mallet until they are about 1/8" thick, being careful not to rip the flesh to much. Fry the steaks in garlic butter for about 20 seconds per side, do not over cook. Some people bread them, but I think this masks the flavor. For a gourmet variation, remove the abs from the butter and keep warm. Poor 1/2 cup of Marsala wine into the pan and add 1/2 cup of sliced mushrooms. Cook mushrooms for 5 minutes, then return abs to pan just to reheat and serve.
I'm gettin hungry writing this, abs are protected in SoCal until the population recovers.

I have tried it very thinly sliced and stir fried with oyster sauce....very tasty

its just nasty to clean,so I gave up on them

I rather have the scallops....but scallop dive is boring....so

stick to lobster :07:

that more fun!!!!
