About Abalone
Abalone is an edible mollusc. It is considered a delicacy. It has a
single, ear-shaped shell lined with mother of pearl. It has a delicate taste
with a firm texture. Abalone A univalve mollusc also known as Ormer or Sea Ear,
which can be found along the coasts of California, Mexico, Japan and rarely in
Europe. The edible portion is the "adductor muscle" ( foot) by which it clings
to rocks. The flesh is tough but well flavoured so tenderising the "foot" is
essential by batting - it can then be eaten raw or slowly stewed.
Abalone meat can be stir-fried, pan-fried,
poached, steamed or stewed. However, it is considered by some to be best when
eaten raw, in thin strips with wasabi and soy sauce.
Another option is braised abalone. With its absorbent texture that draws other
flavours beautifully, braised abalone is traditionally prepared in the Cantonese
cooking style using garlic, ginger and oyster sauce. If deep frying, the fritter
is superb topped with a herb mayonnaise or minced into patties and coated with
crumbs of garlic and onion. Citrus-marinated abalone combines well with shallots
and parsley when pan-fried in oil or butter. Abalone also makes a wonderful
addition to salads.

CERTIFICATE LISTS
In the past the EU has accepted and used the FDA list of approved seafood
establishments for acceptance of U.S. seafood shipments. However, due to a
change in EU legislation, the EU began maintaining their own Official List of
approved establishments. This has resulted in two separate (and different)
lists:
