I've eaten a couple of those in my lifetime but they weren't fresh. They were around 18yrs old but smelled like very fresh fish.

no, i got these from the farmer's market. they were selling 2 for 5 bucks. not too bad considered they were fresh and plump.

sadly, you got it right from the source, i could eat them raw.

ship them to mainland right now, and you're looking at jacked up price.

i guess the best way for me to get any abalone would be californian red abalone.
