Wow, that sounds like a great business...something Sirenita may be interested in....she studies aquaculture. Interesting product and presentation
right down to home delivery! But hey must be pretty small as Juan says here there are 3 yellow abalones in a kilo! and one blue abalone that is 21-22
cm weighs a KILO! they won't fit in the cans! Big suckers eh! I'm munching on an abalone burger I just made out of the mantles...scrumptious

Yes Shari they are tiny. 3" babies. I find that very odd but they have much better success this way I am told.
I am curious about your own aquaculturing techniques. The early farm had huge problems and hurtles to overcome but it now seems they do not
experience catastrophic die-offs like they used to have.
I love abalone and did not realize how lucky I was to be able to enjoy so many before they went down the tubes in CA.
I have a couple of "platter" shells. That's what we'd call the giant reds and pinks. These were taken at sixty feet. Beyond most recreational divers.
Man do I miss that flavor. You are very fortunate indeed.
As a kid, a neighbor of ours was one of the first to cast polished abalone shell pieces into tabletops. Beautiful thangs!
Here is one I have at out restaurant. Note the 2oz jigger:

Great picture Sharks! The way the light hits it almost reminds one of a marlin that has been pulled up on a boat. Just so that I understand. Even
though the abalone population has been wiped out in California, your taking this was justified because it tastes great?
I apologize upfront but I just couldn't resist after reading your comment about how lucky you were to get yours before they were all gone after
dragging some poor guy through the mud over one marlin.

But you missed the part where I opted out of killing any more sharks. I got EDUCATED. Then I did not have a good reason to take them. Just like I
haven't served mercury laden salmon for two years.
At least I learned something and adjusted my thinking. I see that is impossible for some people to ever change.

Me too! I was too young to dive...But mom would and it was my job to pound them with the mallet. We'd have cookouts on the hill above the Isthmus.
Mom always told me to be different - Now she says...Not THAT different

Actually, I fully support catch and release. I now only keep enough fillets for what my family can eat within one or two days.
Many, many years ago the power went out in our neighborhood due to a storm and I was personally appalled at the amount of fish I had to discard from
my freezer and made a personal vow, never again.
I firmly believe that fish stocks are being decimated everywhere. Locally I fish out of Dana Pt. and as little as ten years ago I can remember 50
bass days (all released) even in the dead of winter, now one really has to scratch for them. At their charter office they boast of being the Calico
and Sand Bass capitol with annual takes of 35,000+ bass. What fishery can sustain those numbers for long?
Sitting at Palmas de Cortez last summer I counted over 50 billfish flags (with release flags) just with their fleet. Assuming all resorts in the area
had a similar day that would be well over 200 billfish that day alone. Without an active release program this fishery would soon go the way of the
totuava. While the sportsman take is only a fraction of the commercial slaughter I believe we all have to do our part.
And yes I too took abalone at Santa Cruz Island in the 70's. Cooked up right there on the back of the boat while sitting on the hook was truly a
slice of heaven.
