Number Of Ingredients 7

1 WILD ABALONE OR 2 FARMED ABALONES, CLEANED
1 CUP FLOUR
1/2 TSP. SALT
1/8 TSP. FRESHLY GROUND BLACK PEPPER
2 TBSP. BUTTER
2 TSP. VEGETABLE OR CANOLA OIL
1 EGG

Steps:

Remove the meat from the shell. Trim the head, gills, and viscera. To do this lay the abalone the foot side down. Place the knife just forward of the point where the meat was attached to the shell and cut at a 45 degree angle down and forward. Slice abalone into strips about 1/4" thick. Lightly pound the meat a few times on both sides with a meat tenderizer. In a large shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Dip abalone slices in egg then dip into flour mixture In a large frying pan or sauté pan, melt butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add floured abalone slices in a single layer and cook until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn slices over and cook until golden on other side, another 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with any remaining slices. Serve hot.
