Abalone Selection Tips
1, see whether the survival
The best is to pick the kind of abalone adsorption on the wall of the pool, can be adsorbed on the wall of the pool, that the abalone is still alive, alive abalone have the power of adsorption. When the abalone is still alive, the surface layer will have a layer of black, touch like glue like texture. This layer is actually something that lubricates the abalone during the gliding process, and when the abalone is dead there will be no such layer of material present.
2, look at the shape
Must discard the abalone with chips and cracks. If the abalone's overall touch is harder, the meat is not fine and smooth enough then never buy. A good quality abalone generally has a relatively large shell opening where the meat and shell join, and at its edge, a little closer inspection will reveal nine evenly distributed small holes.
3, look at the size
Generally speaking, we use the "head" to measure the size of the abalone, a catty in the middle of a few heads of almost the same size of abalone, then this abalone is known as the head of the abalone. The bigger the abalone, the more expensive it is, and the better it tastes.
