Pan fried abalone recipes, a step by step guide on how to cook abalone?

Pan fried abalone recipes for abalone steak are popular on the Pacific coast of the USA. In 1919 ‘Pop’ Ernest Doelter opened the first restaurant on Fisherman’s Wharf in Monterey Bay, California. He specialised in abalone steaks and chowder served in abalone shells, and this recipe is inspired by his way of preparing the steaks. Pop felt that the secret was in pounding them enough to tenderise them, but not so much that they turned to mush.

There are many ways to cook abalone so stay tuned for braised abalone recipe, abalone pasta recipe, and abalone chowder recipes.

Perfect to be cooked with black lip abalone that can be bought live in our online fish market with delivery to your home.
