Does anyone know if the abalone canning plant is still operating? We bought abs from a panga while on the hook in the bay for $8 per kilo.Diver - 4-24-2008 at 07:12 AM

Or maybe it was canned beans imported from Asuncion ?

oh yeah, totally illegal and it's a federal offense up there with narcotics...fishermen aren't supposed to sell off a panga...it's a coop you
see...which means a single guy can't make a profit...all for one and one for all type deal. Lots of people don't realize that getting caught with
illegal abs is a very very serious charge...could get your boat confiscated and end up in jail real fast!!! the cannery is operating.

Thanks Shari, the year was 1991 and we learned of the co-op after the fact. The guy in another panga that sold us 12 -2 pound lobster tails for $25
was probably just as guilty. We combined the bugs and the abs for the best meal on the water ever.
