Product Description：There are many types of abalone. There are four categories of dried abalone, canned, frozen and fresh abalone in the market. Among the dried abalone, there are net abalone, nest abalone, and premium abalone. Canned abalone can be eaten immediately; frozen abalone usually takes several hours to taste; fresh abalone can be steamed or blanched; as for dried abalone, the processing method is more complicated. According to traditional Chinese medicine, abalone is sweet and salty in taste and flat in nature. Due to its delicious taste, abalone is known as the "treasure on the table". Abalone is also rich in protein and carbohydrates, low in fat, and has the therapeutic effects of nourishing yin, lowering blood pressure, antipyretic and improving eyesight.

canned abalone
It can be divided into "Japanese lucky abalone", "Mexican wheel abalone", "South African abalone", "Australian canned abalone", "New Zealand canned abalone".
Net abalone: It is an old abalone. The shell has growth rings like old trees. When cooked and cut open, you can see the circular pattern like a net, which is very obvious, so it is called net abalone. Currently, the top quality products are those from Aomori Prefecture, Japan.
Jipin abalone: It is produced in China and Taiwan, but the quality is not as good as that of Iwate Prefecture, Japan. Jipin abalone looks like a gold ingot, is brown in color, has a moderate layer density on the skirt, and has a round thorn on the skirt. The processing method is more complicated and the price is higher.
Hemp abalone: Because it is threaded with ropes during drying, small holes can be seen on the abalone.
Middle Eastern abalone: Produced in the Middle East, its taste is not as good as that of Japanese abalone, but its price is moderate and its sales volume ranks first in Hong Kong. It is also popular in China. It tastes good, with a chewy texture and a sugary center. It’s best to add ham bones when cooking to make it taste even better.
African abalone: It has a sugary center and a strong abalone flavor. It is chewy and chewy. It is medium-to-high priced and is popular in restaurants. Because there is no bleaching process during processing, the meat is firmer and requires a longer cooking time.
South African abalone: Since the drying process is not as professional as that of Japan and the Middle East, the texture is tough, the meat is rough, less elastic, and the taste is bland. It requires careful cooking and at least two days to cook it properly and make it delicious.
Supply Season：Hong Kong is supplied throughout the year.
Storage Method：Canned abalone can be stored in a cool, dry place in its original can. For unopened abalone, to prevent the abalone meat from drying out and losing its original flavor, pour the abalone and soup into other edible containers, seal them, store them in the refrigerator, and consume them as soon as possible.
#Should Be / Avoided：
Abalone is tough and difficult to digest. People with weak spleen should only eat soup instead of abalone.
*Edible Compatibility：
Abalone itself does not have outstanding taste, and it is often better cooked with thick soup or oyster sauce.
Cooking Skills：After purchasing the dried abalone, because it is "new water", it can be "re-dried", that is, put the dried abalone in the fresh water for 2 to 3 hours in the strong sunlight, seal it before the heat dissipates, and repeat the drying every month. Once or twice, it will become commonly known as "old water" in about 3 months, and the fibers will shrink to form sugar cores, which will make it more fragrant. Soak dried abalone: first immerse it in room temperature water for eight hours, then simmer for one hour, then pick it up, freeze it with cold beer and wash away the dust and dirt. Add rock sugar, ginger, green onion, chicken feet, ham, red meat, monosodium glutamate, dark soy sauce and shaoxing wine and cook for about 8 hours until soft and ready to use. The prepared abalone should not be placed in the refrigerator, because the aroma is easily volatile, so it is best to prepare and eat immediately.
Notes：The weight of abalone is calculated by the head, and the number of abalones per catty is the number of heads. For example, sixteen abalones are exactly one catty, and each one is a tael.
Most of the abalones with beautiful appearance are dried or boiled and then dried in cold air indoors. If the shape is uneven, it must be dried raw.
Huaxin abalone is caused by undercooked abalone when it is drying, because the water in the thick center is not forced out, resulting in white spot-like rot, which is called Huaxin.
Tasting abalone, the first thing is to be soft and moderate. Too hard is like eating tofu, but it is a pity. If it is too hard, it will take a lot of effort to chew, and it will not be able to bring out the true taste of abalone. Therefore, it is best to be soft and moderate, with a slightly springy feeling when chewing, and more fishy, golden in color, soft and smooth in the mouth, with a sugary heart when you bite.
Tasting abalone should be "long cut", in line with the characteristics of abalone's fiber and delicate texture, eating from the skin to the center of the abalone, and eating from the outside to the inside will make people have an endless aftertaste. It is also not advisable to add other seasonings such as chili sauce, mustard and soy sauce, which will affect the umami taste of abalone. In winter, abalone should be more flavorful, and it is better to add goose palm to make it a bit greasy. In summer, it is advisable to add vegetables, which has a refreshing effect.
Eating abalone at a banquet requires attention to manners, so it is more convenient to use a knife and fork to cut into small slices or bite into small pieces. If you have a private meal and your teeth are strong, you can use chopsticks to hold it up and bite the food with your teeth, which will make the taste even stronger. In fact, some gourmets think that the iron taste of knives and forks will destroy the original taste of abalone, so they use chopsticks. If the abalone is too big, you can stab the central part with chopsticks and bite into it.
At present, many abalone-producing countries such as South Africa, Australia and South Korea have developed artificial breeding, and China's abalone production accounts for 70% of the country's total abalone production. However, the abalone with a shell length of 15cm can absorb up to 200kg. When harvesting, it is necessary to quickly shovel it with a shovel or lift it up; because it cannot be caught by trawl like fishing, it must be picked up by hand. , so the natural output is very small, and the price is also expensive.
