I’ve only had abalone once, at a nice restaurant in the SF Bay Area. Like rubber. Give me Penobscot Bay scallops anytime.

The best is you have to mallet the meat until tenderized. I never understood thick abalone steaks which is what you got and that is sad. Too rubbery, worse than calamari steaks.

I’d rather eat an old shoe than thick abalone steaks.

Those are probably better than the Far Eastern scallops we get here.
