Our Abalone Haliotis Asinina

The most common species in the Indo-Pacific waters is the ミミガイ ; MIMIGAI ; Donkey's-ear abalone or   Haliotis Asinina- one of the fastest growing abalone(>40 mm/year) in the world. Haliotis Asinina is the first abalone to go onto the dinner plate/soup bowl. Sometimes called ‘Sweet Cocktail Abalone’ and are perfect for steamboat or soups.  It is much tastier than the cold water species found in Australia, America, and South Africa and is the favorite species in Asia.  

Fastest abalone on earth

 

Although the species did not grow as big as its temperate equivalent, its still command a good price in the international market. Haliotis Asinina has a smaller shell compared to other temperate species, but the meat size can be 6 to 7 times the size of the shell. Its continued occurrence will therefore be of great benefit to the coastal fishing communities where they are found.
