hmmm i dunno about leaving the guts in :lol: I still cooked it in it shell, just cut the guts out. He keeps all the juices and makes the sauce at the end with it, i dont think anyone would fancy stewed guts in there? But yeah he doesnt mention anything about it, i personally just didnt want them and assumed he removed the guts. Mine turned out great so ill keep removing the guts i reckon when i make it.

Well, he DOES add abalone gut at the end when hes adding the butter, etc. to the pan juices..... ("totally optional").

Eh, ill give it a shot guts in and see how it turns out.

He definitely does it guts in. I wouldn't be surprised if the abs live.

Thats wack! Just watched it again, he does just stir some guts straight through it at the end, wow and he reckons its REALLY good. Well would never have thought shit was used as a spice in any dish :lol:

I've eaten ab gut, tastes like a protien seaweed. It isn't disgusting, just not nice..

hrmmm.... not bad. Not bad at all.

Didnt have any mirin, so used less soy.
Had two abs from a weekend outing. Could have taken the smaller one out of the pan a bit earlier (its flesh was a tiny little bit tough) but over all, pretty good! Still somehow managed to get ab guts all over me though :)

How did you manage that Ossk? the guts set when they are cooked.

yeah no idea. I had it on a really low burner, maybe too low, and the heat didnt make it up into the shell?
I also cooked em straight out of the fridge, maybe should have let them come to room temp first?

Regardless, it still worked out quite well

That abalone was dead, look up dancing abalone. They put them on their shells so the poor things can't walk away while they cook them alive on a little grill.

Are there other ways one might kill an abalone before cooking it?

Heres another intetesting video, it shows a few different chinese cooking methods for abalone. Actually looks really good, looks real tasty! Ill definatly be giving these methods a crack next abalone season(if i post the link now i wont forget about this video and can find it here later). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eomUq4o ... re=related

You still got a month worth of abalone open days! Including Easter! whats this about "next season" :P

Even if you do miss the end of the season, you can always take a drive down past the "central zone" waters and collect any time! Hooray!
I don't like abs that much to go out specifically to collect, but if i happen to be past cape otway, and in the water, and see them, and they're the right size, and i have my ab tools on me... well, fair game :)
