The part of the abalone that connects the flesh and shell is called a shell column; a teardrop shaped cluster of shells along the side of the column. The shadow is where the internal organs are located. If we want to remove the meat from the abalone, we need to remember the general location of the viscera and the shell column, so that we can accurately cut and avoid breaking the viscera when disassembling the abalone.

The mouth of the abalone is at the narrower end of the body and contains a gastrointestinal tube, which must be removed along with the mouthpiece to avoid affecting the taste.

Although the abalone is very picky about the quality of the water to grow, to grow in the very clean sea inside, but the body is still not immune to mucus and parasitic some seaweed, so we have to use salt rub to remove the dirty deodorization.

Prepare a clean brush, toothbrush is also possible. Scrub the abalone carefully. First treat it kindly then eat it, insidious humans.

Next, it's time to cut off the shell post that connects the flesh to the shell. There are many tools you can use, such as a knife, spoon, or whatever, but I found it easiest to get started with a small rice spoon. Just stabilize the abalone with one hand as shown in the picture, and scrape the small rice spoon in between the flesh and the shell, and it's easy to separate the flesh from the abalone.

Look, simple is simple, but it still takes a little effort. To avoid hurting your hands on the edges of the abalone shell, you may want to wear gloves when starting the meat.

This is what it looks like when it's separated.

Now the guts are cut off with a knife. Abalone's innards have a strong seaweed flavor, which is not something you can normally tolerate, but it is the source of the abalone's delicious flavor, so for some gourmets, you may want to save the innards and dry fry them until they are a little crispy, then dip them in pepper, extraordinary delicious!

If you are going to keep the innards, try to avoid breaking them when separating them.

Make a cut in the mouth of the abalone in order to remove the gastrointestinal tube.

See, the mouth and the esophagogastric tube are connected and have to be removed together.

Kill the abalone, wash and dry it, then you can process the dish. If you want to eat raw, you can look like this, prepare a large pot of water, put more ice (the more ice the better), add a tablespoon of salt slightly mixed to melt, and then put a few slices of lemon to fishy flavor.

Score the surface of the abalone with a knife (no photos here) to make it look better, then put the whole thing in ice water and soak it for 1 minute to make the meat firm and elastic.

Slice thinly - the thinner the better - and serve with the sauce. If plating for serving, be sure to place ice cubes on top to maintain its texture.

Notes

Based on one catty, the number of abalone contained in one catty is the number of heads of abalone. For example, 8 heads of abalone, meaning a catty has 8 abalone; 4 heads of abalone, meaning a catty has 4 abalone.
