About abalone[]
Abalone is a gastropod mollusk found along the coastlines of California, Mexico and Japan. The edible portion is the adductor muscle, a broad foot by which the abalone clings to rocks. As with any muscle, the meat is tough and must be pounded to tenderize it before cooking.
Eating sustainably[]
| The best choice for awabi is farmed abalone from the United States. |
