Abalone

So - Who got into the abalone on the weekend? We got a good feed - cooked them up last night in flour and chilli salt. Bloody tasty with a couple of beers, bit of a pain in the arse to clean though. I'll put some pics up tonight.

We did a few like that till but I gotta say they are really good with the flour and chilli. Little bit of hoisin as dipping sauce also.

the wife is a Kiwi - last night she made Paua fritters using Abalone instead - bliss! We are headed back for more on Saturday.

I thought abalone and paua were the same thing? What's the difference?
