Anyone smoked abalone and if so how did you do it? Eg type of brine solution, how long cooked for?, type of shavings, etc?

Thanks

Geoff

I've tried hot smoking them a couple of times and it's come up shite. First time was with a dry sugar and salt brining mix and they ended up inedible second time was without brining and they ended up just about edible but very tough. Both times I sliced them as you would for frying.

Thanks Greg you saved an abalone from being turned into shit.

Think I'll stick with frying, steaming and poaching methods.

Ceviche????? Stupid Spanish

Aussie def: raw with lemon or lime.

FRESH from the ocean Silver trev's sashimi with lemon juice = brilliant
Aussie Salmon pretty good too.

Your born with canines too rip away raw flesh from the bone! :twisted:

Sorry getting hungry

Aussie salmon ceviche goes all right, I normally just smoke 'em or chow down on them raw with a bit of soy and of course wasabi but now I've got a new string to my bow. Cheers

I tried this about 2 years ago using a recipe off the net. The abs were boiled for 2 hours then smoked for 5 mins in a hot smoker. They were VERY tender but very smokey too, they absorb the "smoke" very well. Was quite tasty but could only eat very small amounts, would go well with a cheese and dip platter type entré I reckon
