Apparently American and Australian abalones are similar. And you’re right, they are for personal consumption only, and if baking a cake gets me to consume a few, I’m happy!<br />Hugs x. thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-40851014405859528712021-03-17T15:37:15.164+00:002021-03-17T15:37:15.164+00:00This is a new one for me, but what does this landl...This is a new one for me, but what does this landlubber know? I do love scallops, clams and lobster kind of stuff so I can only imagine how good they have to be. <br />But, wow, you have to work for your supper don't you. I take it that they can not be professionally harvested? <br />Take care, Terri Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623141397526171772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-35399629261628645722021-03-15T23:17:52.547+00:002021-03-15T23:17:52.547+00:00Haha Vronni.

I’m sure you’d enjoy this pretty unique taste though. And yes, a great example of reciprocity going strong in the community eh. <br />Hope you’re having a good week,<br />Hugs x. thepoutingpensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484934089759704702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3385292529998118275.post-3554477144325379322021-03-15T23:14:28.444+00:002021-03-15T23:14:28.444+00:00Well I guess they are of the same family as the ab...Well I guess they are of the same family as the abalone, so thanks for sharing the info Terri.

Sea otters and people love to feast on them and they are harvested here just as you describe. Abalone can be harvested almost as far north as San Francisco. You and your friends know how to treat each other, well done.Terra https://www.blogger.com/profile/04396481049075747940noreply@blogger.com
