Abalone, called fish, is actually not a fish, but a kind of shellfish, a mollusk with an oval shell crawling on the rocks. Whether cooking or making soup, it has a unique flavor. In China, it has always been listed as a treasure in the sea. Abalone was called "gun" in ancient times and "general's cap" in common name. The shell is thick and low, flat and wide, ear-shaped, and the spiral part only leaves traces, accounting for a very small part of the whole shell, and the meat is hidden in the shell; Feet are quite developed, accounting for 40% of body weight. Haliotis discus hannai produced in Shandong coastal area is the top grade of abalone. Haliotis discus hannai lives in a shallow sea with high seawater transparency, gentle tidal current and lush seaweed, or in a corner of an island canyon. It doesn't sleep during the day, comes out at night and feeds on seaweed.
