Abalone (perlemoen) | Live Box | Cultivated | x6

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.

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

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)
