Seafood, throughout the ages, has been a delicacy on everyone's table. Friends living in coastal areas, all kinds of seafood shellfish is not at all rusty, because in the coast or vegetable farms, you can often pick a variety of shellfish, melon seeds, clams, oysters, but also only the palm size of the abalone. From ancient times, abalone is one of the favorite ingredients of princes and royals, but in today's society, the price of abalone has been reduced again and again, and nowadays you can see the small abalone, which can be bought for only two or three dollars.

But, abalone is also three six nine class difference, such as the following to introduce you to the three kinds of abalone, a red abalone, a kind of gold abalone, there is a kind of black and gold abalone, everyone if the three kinds of abalone from the appearance seems to think that which one kind of abalone price is the most expensive?

1, red abalone

Red abalone origin is the United States of California, although California has many kinds of local abalone species, but the red abalone is undoubtedly one of the most impressive abalone, because the red abalone's body size is too big, is the world's largest abalone species. At one time, local Californians used to fish for red abalone as a competitive market contest, and whoever fished for the larger red abalone would win. Very large red abalone shells are still kept in some fishermen's homes.

How big is a red abalone? I heard that one of the largest red abalone individuals found locally today will be 30Cm in length alone, and the net weight does more than 6 pounds. The shell of red abalone is very thin and the abalone meat is very round. However, due to a lot of local people salvage red abalone, the total number of red abalone at this stage is extremely fast decreasing, and has long been shaken. Only in the California waters north of San Francisco, where you can still dive freely for abalone at this stage, it is completely difficult to buy red abalone in the market, thus making it expensive.

2, golden abalone

Golden abalone's real name is golden abalone, there are generally two points of view, one is the golden abalone in Chile, a golden abalone snail in West Africa. Although the appearance of the two are very similar, all gold-colored seafood, but the difference is particularly large. Chile's golden abalone can be considered abalone, the price is very cheap, taste hard, it is best to cut into slices to take. The golden abalone snail can not be counted on abalone, can only be counted as a substitute for abalone.

3, black gold abalone

Black gold abalone, origin is New Zealand. It is said that this kind of abalone only grows in the deep sea in New Zealand, attached to the volcanic rock on the seabed, because the volcanic rock contains more minerals, so the black layer of black gold abalone surface layer of the black mucous membrane, is to absorb the mineral growth. According to scientific research, we found that the black gold abalone contains more nutrients beneficial to human health, so there is a "gray and black gold" this title.

In New Zealand local, only get deep diving professional qualification of diving can go out to sea to salvage the black gold abalone, and can not bring all the oxygen equipment, only one person down to deep dive. Fished up black gold abalone must use a special type of measurement size accurate measurement, hole diameter exceeds 12.5 centimeters of black gold abalone can let the engineering dive to bring. Therefore, the price of black gold abalone is as expensive as the price, but compared to the red abalone, it is quite suitable to get the ingredients.
