Greenlip Abalone | California

If you have never had Abalone you are not alone. It is not common to find quality Greenlip Abalone in the USA, because it mostly grows along the coast of Southern California and Northern Mexico. 

Abalone is a species of sea snail with a large oval-shaped shell.  It has a salty and buttery flavor. It has a chewy texture, if you can imagine a super flavorful calamari steak... well, that is what Abalone tastes like.

These abalones are never stressed by exposure to poor quality, artificial water, unlike abalone that is held in aquariums in stale, recirculated water for weeks prior to harvest.  They grow off the shores of Southern California at a relatively shallow 30 to 60 feet underwater. This is more than just abalone; this is the best American Abalone delivered to your door.

WHAT DOES IT TASTE LIKE?

The sweet, subtle flavor, tender texture, and pearl white meat of Greenlip Abalone make them one of the most highly sought-after ocean delicacies. Perfect for light frying and sashimi, Greenlip Abalone is the most delicate of all abalone species and is commonly sold in its shell to retain maximum flavor and goodness.

They boast great health benefits (anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, bone strength) and are rich in Omega 3, iodine, phosphorus (phosphate), and selenium.
