Abalone
California Red Abalone is one of the rarest and most sought after shellfish in the international market place. This species is considered the highest quality abalone available. People used to be able to dive for abalone freely with no regulations as the abalones were abundant. The abalone processors were processing abalone all day long; abalone sandwiches were as cheap as $1.00 each! Now, wild abalone is much harder to come by. Abalone is the most favorite food of sea otters. Sea otters are protected and over abundant and have diminished the wild abalone stock. As a result wild abalone is now something of a legend. Abalone is still remembered as having amazing flavor and a texture that melts in your mouth.
