REVIEW: Costco AUSAB Australian Abalone!!!
Abalone is a hand-sized sea snail that lives in saltwater near the coast. Unlike other sea snails it has only a single shell covering the top and uses a large foot to cling to rocks and eat algae. The shell itself is flat and spiral-shaped with several small holes around the edges. Inside the shell it is pearly in color and pattern and covers the prized meat.
Abalone is such a rare and unique ingredient that it is rarely used in everyday life. This expensive delicacy can cost up to $50 for a single shell and in some cases even more. What makes it so expensive is its rarity and unique flavor as well as the technical preparation required to cook it.
Traditionally abalone is found in the Pacific United States and the Indo-Pacific region as well as in Great Britain and Japan. In Japan and China abalone cultivation began in the late 1950s and 1960s. It quickly grew in popularity due to its unique texture and flavor.
