So..who's going chasing Ab's tomorrow? I'll be in the water at 7am - looking forward to it. By the way does anyone have any good recipe's for them? I think it was Alfred who had a couple of great ones that looked nice last year..want to try some fritters this year.
I'll put up a full report with a few pics when I get back for those who are interested. Should be a nice lunch I rekon.

were out in force as usual - undersize, over limit or no license - the $200 fine is a joke, push the buggers off the reef.

Nice snorkelling conditions yesterday for the offshore islands. Got 5 about 110mm with rest ranging from 80-10mm. Kept 10 alive till dinner time. Shuck, smack, flour, egg/milk/crumbs, shallow fry. Hmm, very nice. Drowned the other ten and into the freezer - will be interesting to compare.
Cheers Pete

I shuck mine, slice into
I shuck mine, slice into thin strips (I cut down, not across), then dust in lightly seasoned flour. Heat some oil and chuck a few bits in. They only need 30 odd seconds if sliced thin, then drain on paper towel and eat. I've converted many abalone haters with this entree.

Is there a limit to the areas you can dive for them or anywhere goes? Another way to scoff them is in cream and bake slowly if you can handle waiting that long.
