Real abs, Green and Blacklip
Not pissy little Roes, which don't taste as good anyway.

All are Tasty if looked after!
brown and greens are great cut em thin give em a belt , I like em deep fried with batter or shallots and garlic butter .
generally find the greens on the flat rock and the browns on the ledges .
Roes will be found on the cracks between rocks and if your in an area that hasn’t been hammered look for .....
Cant give it all away lads .
Must admit posted to tease as west coast closed.

Well, I did it for a living, for a while
In South Oz, out of Port Lincoln, before I came over here. Get a big Greenlip, slice through for big patties, tenderise, do in egg and breadcrumb. Squeeze lemon juice on, hard to beat. When I first came over here, I went with some blokes to get abs. "these are abs? WTF" never liked them as much. In fact,I can't recall a single time I ever actually went gathering, even when they were easily available off the reef here, no closed seasons. Just spoilt, I guess.

love all the abs ... once
love all the abs ...
once we have reached our quota , i leave my catch bag in water for up to 30 mins ...let the buggers relax , before we put them into an ice slurry ...this seesm to help keep them softer for the plate
once there home , i remove meat, and gently ''TAP ''it with a hammer about 10-15 times each one , while holding them with a finger nail on a solid wooden board ... no bashing ...just enough to soften the meat ... then crumb them
cook em super quick in pan with hot oil , drain and serve with lemon wedge and sweet chilli mayonaise ...
totally soft and delicous ......anyone who says there tough or chewy is not preparing them correclty , no matter the variety , greens , browns or roe

Last lot I took to a Chinese
Last lot I took to a Chinese restaurant owned by a mates in laws. They did them in a bbq sauce. Pretty damn good done that way.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?
