[Boonsiong]

Samsters dare to eat ?

 

[laksaboy]

Probably the same ones offered for free sampling at Sheng Siong.

Each of those abalone is no bigger than an underaged girl's CB.

 

[Boonsiong]

Is it Tiong abalones?

Abalone got no taste, it’s just like sharks fin. The taste comes from the sauce or seasoning. Just eat during CNY.

You are right. Abalone itself is tasteless. I prefer the taste of scallops.

 

[syed putra]

I will stick to fried chicken even if cost more.

Farmed abalone offers a sustainable, consistent, and more affordable alternative to wild, with a milder, softer, and smaller profile. Wild abalone is prized for a firmer texture, more intense, briny flavor, and larger size, but it is heavily overfished. While 95% of the market is now farmed for environmental, ethical, and cost reasons, wild remains a premium delicacy.

Farmed Abalone

• Flavor & Texture: Tends to be softer and has a milder, often slightly sweet or mushroom-like flavor.
• Size: Generally smaller, with farmed red abalone averaging

  in shell length.
• Sustainability: Preferred choice, as wild populations face poaching and overharvesting, threatening extinction.
• Cost: More affordable and accessible than wild, often found in canned forms.
• Appearance: Often more uniform in shape and color due to controlled environment.

How risky is it to eat cheap food?

U guys grow up with a silver spoon meh? Most likely u guys grew up dirt poor, and then work your way up to be able to afford car/condo etc and eat good food. Never forget the food that raised u and kept u alive, most likely was cheap.

It’s nothing new previously was going for about 1-2 bucks. Note this you have to prepare it yourself like shelling and cleaning it before cooking. The cooking process takes quite awhile. You’re better off buying the canned version which aren’t expensive nowadays

 

[eatshitndie]

they are undercutting atbs who are offering (raw) abalones at less than 69 bucks for 6.9 fucks.

 

[Papsmearer]

This is actually a type of sea snail that looks like abalone. Not a true abalone. This is chilean abalone otherwise known as Concholepas concholepas.

 

[glockman]

Good to buy for the meat and shell. Can process the shell to use as woodcraft inlay.
