    A RARE BOUNTY OF FLAVOUR

    Known for its buttery, salty taste, and slightly chewy texture (in a good way, think calamari steaks) abalone is a highly sought-after seafood. This desirability has led to populations being severely depleted, and as recently as 2010 Abalone was listed as an endangered species with demand from the far east and invader species depleting the populations on the South African coastline. While still targeted by poaching syndicates and highly regulated by the government and watchdogs, the growth of aquaculture has meant that more and more South Africans have been able to try this delicacy. Abalone takes about a decade to reach a harvestable age and this slow growth contributes to the pressure on the population. All our abalone is sustainably sourced from farms in Hermanus.

    CONTENTS

    6 x Whole Abalone with Shell (approx. 90 - 110g per abalone)

  • Instructions

    Your box will arrive fresh, simply store in your fridge, and use at your leisure (up to 2 days).

    Any special requests or instructions can be left in the NOTES section at the Checkout. Eg: Your doorbell does not work, you require a phone call before the order arrives, you would like the fillets / steaks vacuum packed seperately or cut into smaller portions etc.

  • Eco rating

    The only sustainable way to source abalone is through aquaculture, and abalone should never be purchased from other sources. Our abalone comes from farms in Hermanus which use recirculating tanks to grow this rare sea snail. The feed used consists mostly of seaweed and is also sustainably sourced, while seaweed cultures are used to help purify the circulating water

  • Fishwife Recipes

    Abalone in Panko Crumbs

    Because of regulations and scarcity, many may wonder how to prepare this delicacy, luckily The Fishwife is here with a serving suggestion. You will need:

    • 6 fresh abalone
    • 1/2 cup flour
    • 2 tsp salt
    • 1 tsp pepper
    • 1.5 cups panko crumbs
    • 1 egg
    • 50g butter
    • 1 Tbsp olive oil

    Preparation:

    1. Clean abalone with a vegetable brush thoroughly to remove any black residue.
    2. Pat dry with paper towel.
    3. Slice abalone into thin rounds (I managed to get about 2-3 slices from each abalone).
    4. Using a meat mallet, pound the abalone until tender.
    5. Mix flour, salt and pepper together in a bowl.
    6. Dip abalone slices into the flour mixture, coating evenly and set aside in a separate dish.
    7. Beat the egg in a bowl and set aside.
    8. Pour the panko crumbs into a bowl and set aside.
    9. Dip the flour coated abalone into the egg mixture and then into the panko crumb mixture and place coated pieces into a separate bowl for frying later.
    10. Heat the butter and olive oil in a pan on a high heat and wait until its bubbling.
    11. Fry the panko coated abalone slices in the pan for 2-3 minutes a side until nice and golden.
    12. Remove from the pan and place on paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
    13. Serve with pink sauce (2 Tbsp Mayo, 1 Tbsp Tomato Sauce, 1 Tbsp Sweet Chilli Sauce, 1 Tbsp Chutney)

          evaluation of taste on abalone

          To be honest they don't have any flavor - Wild Abalone have a distinctive taste , that I recall from 15 years ago , perhaps my cooking method was incorrect , but they too small to developed the intricate nuances of a legally sized one from the wild - my two cents

          Greenfish Perlemoen

          It was amazing to finally have perlemoen again in years. The quality was exceptional and I was left with the taste of “more” and old childhood memories. I will most certainly buy this again.

          Hi H, currently wild stocks are under heavy pressure. We have worked hard to bring fresh abalone back to the SA home. Farmed is currently the best practice we see at this stage. have a wonderful day

          Awesome experience

          Really great delivery experience, same day and as fresh as ever. Was my first time trying abalone, a simple salt, pepper and flour seasoning, sauted and served. Absolutely delicious, and completely unique flavour with no fishiness at all.

          Greenfish Abalone

          We haven't had abalone in more than 20 years. I could only find tinned ones and have been looking for live abalone now for a long time. Then I discovered Greenfish. Their abalone was small, but still alive when it was delivered. Amazing! And delicious! I will definitely order from them again.
