When me and a buddy flew to Asuncion in May 2010 for a day trip from Mulege to meet shari and Juan they gave us each a couple of cans of fresh
seasonal abalone product.
it was so fricking good!! i could not believe the meat sizes that came out of the can! tender and full of flavor - perfect in a salad or just dipped
in hot sauce on crackers.
i wish i could go back manana.
maybe next year - we'll see. I'll pay whatever the market price is there and hope to try more stuff they can.
great place.

Looks like you can buy it on-line from a few places. Here is one of them...

I first wondered if that was $120 pesos, but I think it's US Dollars. Expensive indeed.
I checked a link for buying abalone from New Zealand and it's much more reasonable. We wil be in New Zealand in October and will definately have some
abalone while we are there. Abalone is called pāua there and is supposed to be widely available.

i think they get them at cost. Maybe even in partial payment since he is a harvestor?
i have seen it in stores in states sometimes for $40 or so a can. passed.

Are all of the harvested abalone exported? I'll be traveling through on my moto a week from now and am curious if the local restaurants serve them
also?

Where are you guys seeing that? I don't see it on the board, and Shari said $80 a can.
And I agree, once it is in a can, caracol is just as good as abalone.

May be the same in La Bocana. The only fresh abs I have had have been at a friends house, an ab diver here.

juan thinks one may be able to buy fresh abs at the cooperativa that have a little hole in them that they cant use for canning...worth investigating!
I just froze a whack of the trimmings that I will use for abalone burritos, burgers and sausage for our B n B guests and buen amigos.

I was in Gurerro Negro yesterday at the wholesale mariscos place and priced fresh abulon, $125 usd a kilo. she says she sends a fair amount to Mexico
city. A can of abulon was 400 pesos. looked to be about a 12oz can. we bought some scallops for $250p a kilo. Medium shrimp weree 200p a kilo.

Never was, and never will be that good, in my estimation.
When I was in eighth grade, our first metal shop project was to make an Ab Iron. You could go down to a tide pool and pop them off the rocks. That's
what people should do today instead of paying all that money.
