No, it's like a giant flat snail without the head. It's very tough and chewy unless you prepared it just right. Some think it's a delicacy, but I think it is a whole lot of work! I'd rather eat tuna.abalone is tuna right ?
abalone suck themselves down on the rocks. You need a pry bar to get them off. The inside of the shells are pretty.
That's the part you eat. Sliced thin, pounded thoroughly to tenderize before cooking. Similar to eating clams.
