I was gifted a $40 can of Australian abalone. [View all]

Google tells me this is sea snails. Before I donate it to the food pantry, is there some way of eating it that I might want to try?

Better than lobster Ponietz Nov 2020 #2

I do like lobster. Thanks. Croney Nov 2020 #4

Try it as a ceviche or seafood cocktail Ponietz Nov 2020 #7

Thanks but I'm not a fan of raw. Croney Nov 2020 #8

Abalone is a real treat --- don't give it away! (Unless you're allergic or something.) fierywoman Nov 2020 #5

Ok I'm leaning toward trying it Croney Nov 2020 #9

I've never eaten a snail -- last time I ate abalone was in the mid-70's: major treat! fierywoman Nov 2020 #11

But abalone is a snail, right? I think mine is raw in the can. Croney Nov 2020 #12

I guess it's technically a snail 'cuz it's meat inside of a shell -- but it's a huge thing, not tiny fierywoman Nov 2020 #13

Thanks. If I open this can and see faces with mouths and eyes... Croney Nov 2020 #14

No no no! No eyes or anything. Just a slab of meat. Someone said like lobster. fierywoman Nov 2020 #15

Oh, lucky you. Overcooking this will render it tough as leather. dreamland Nov 2020 #6

This is what I was looking for. Thanks! Croney Nov 2020 #10
