westg Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 Never tried abalone... what does it taste like? You catch em yourself? I reckon it tastes like sausage meat. Yep caught myself , we get five Sundays a year and you can only fish between 7 & and 8 am on each Sunday . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Never tried abalone... what does it taste like? Was wondering the same - can they be eaten raw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuzz Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Was wondering the same - can they be eaten raw? Yes, but you need to make sure wherever you get them is relatively pollution free. You can slice them thinly and serve with soy sauce & wasabi (the crunchy texture of raw abalone is interesting), however, I prefer mine braised Chinese style. West, didn't think you guys had blacklip abalone is WA. I thought you guys just had the brownlip or greenlip varieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuzz Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Oh, roe abalone. Thought they looked a little small compared to the ones we get over here. Then again, abalone have been getting smaller over the last 30yrs. Used to be back in the 70's/80's, you could get a bucket of huge abalone for 20c a piece. Most Aussies had no idea what they were or how to eat them back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptrthgr8 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Never had abalone, but would like to try them some time. Haven't yet met a seafood I didn't like (definitely some I like more than others, of course). Are they anything at all like scallops? I dig good scallops. Those definitely cooked up nicely!

westg Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Much more of a meaty taste than scallop. Is a little more chewy as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's a lot like Conch (insert immature giggle here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westg Posted January 16, 2014 Author Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's a lot like Conch (insert immature giggle here) sort of ..similar texture conch is a bit sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfall Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 sort of ..similar texture conch is a bit sweeter. Yeah, but the Abalone I've had off the west coast of Mexico/ South America have been very sweet, It probably depends on water temperatures, like a lot of things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
