Description
 

The frozen wild abalone meat comes from Baja California. The abalone fishery is well managed by the Mexican government and individual fishing cooperatives. The cooperatives monitor the fishing in their area to ensure that the abalone stock is sustainable. The abalone steaks are shipped ready to prepare having been trimmed, sliced, pounded, vacuum packed and frozen. The steaks are two to three ounces each and approximately five inches in diameter.

The abalone are professionally tenderized on-site, there is no need to tenderize further as this will cause breakage. Abalone has a mild flavor; any seasoning should be used very lightly as to not over-power the delicate and sweet flavor. Abalone cooks very quickly and should be served promptly after cooking. If many portions are to be cooked, it is advisable to have more than one skillet heated and ready for cooking or the abalone should be cooked to order. Always pre-heat the skillet and cook on high/med high heat. Wipe the skillet clean with a towel between batches if the butter begins to scorch. Serve immediately or place on warming tray for no more than five minutes. 

Thawing:  place the vacuum packed abalone steak under cold running water for about 2 minutes. Removes the steak (OK if still slightly frozen) from the vacuum pack and proceed.

Best ever! December 13, 2008
Reviewer: Barbara Karler from Salt Lake City, UT United States  
As an ex-Californian, I yearn for abalone from time to time.  This stuff is exquisite and keeps me from losing my mind from acute deprivation.  It is perfectly trimmed and tenderized.  Just a quick saute in butter and you are dining with the gods on ambrosia.  Well worth the price.
