Gently brush off the dark brown (black and yellow) film on the surface and folds of abalone with a toothbrush, take the abalone meat out of the shell with a knife or hand, take out the internal organs and rinse it with water.

Introduction of abalone

Abalone is a primitive marine shellfish, a monocoque mollusk with only half a shell, which is thick, flat and wide. Abalone is a traditional precious food in China, ranking first among the four major seafood.

Abalone has nothing to do with fish, but with snails and the like. According to research, the shield fish is called abalone, because Bao Shu's teeth like it, and some of them are shaped like human ears. The spiral part only leaves traces, accounting for a small part of the whole shell. There are nine holes in the edge of the shell, from which seawater flows in and out, and even abalone depends on it for breathing, excretion and fertility.

So it is also called "nine-hole snail". The shell surface is rough with dark brown patches, and the inner surface presents blue, green, red and blue pearl luster. Fresh abalone is shelled, marinated for a period of time, then cooked, eviscerated and dried. It is delicious and nutritious. "Abalone, ginseng and tripe with wings" are precious seafood, and abalone ranks first among sea cucumber, shark's fin and tripe with fish.

There are about 90 kinds of abalone in the world, and their footprints are all over the Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean. The abalone produced in Bohai Bay in China is called Haliotis discus hannai, which is relatively large. Abalone produced in the southeast coast is called Haliotis diversicolor, and the individual is small. Haliotis diversicolor and Haliotis diversicolor produced in Xisha Islands are famous edible abalone. Because the natural output is very small, it is expensive.

Now, all countries that produce abalone in the world are developing artificial breeding. In the 1970s, China cultivated Haliotis diversicolor fry, and artificial breeding was successful.
