A variety of sea snail found along the coastlines of California,
Mexico and Japan. The edible adductor muscle is the broad "foot" which
the abalone uses to cling to rocks. This tough muscle is pounded to
tenderize it before cooking. The largest variety is the red abalone
found off the coast of California, which can reach 11 inches across.
Available fresh, canned, dried or salted.
Ingredient
Season:
available year-round
How to select:
Fresh, live abalone should smell sweet, not fishy; and the
muscle should move when touched. Choose those that are relatively
small.
How to store:
Refrigerate quickly, and cook within a day of purchase.
