Beautiful abalone - perfect tender bites of joy plus nature's art! Enjoy this quick and easy fried preparation, a classic for abalone. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of fried seafood but this was ridiculously good and easy. Was it because they were alive only 5 minutes before I ate them? Or the bit of bacon grease I mixed in with the oil? I don't know, but this is a quick and easy way to prepare them that let's the abalone shine.

A pair of tongs is also super useful for moving them to the bowls later.
