....Are abalone that good?????............
Abalone has a fairly unique flavor, not strong at all. I can’t think of anything that is similar. I would say that “most” people like it a lot and a few are so-so about it. East Asians seem to consider it as a delicacy. A lot of people describe it as “rich”, but that may be due to preparation rather than the meat itself. It is illegal to sell wild California Abs but farm raised sells for $30-40/Lb, live and in the shell.
