In New Zealand we have PAUA Which is our Abalone
What is Paua ?
Unique to New Zealand
Paua is a species of abalone (Haliotis Iris)
It is only found in the sea around New Zealand. This marine mollusk eats seaweed and lives clinging to rocks at depths of 1-10 meters, normally along the shoreline. Paua Shell is the most colorful of all the abalone shells. Most other abalone are pale in comparison.
And here"s the basic recipe for them
Paua Fritters (Abalone)
Prepare 1 chopped onion and 6 pauas (without shells) by cutting into
manageable cubes and mincing (preferably through an old fashioned mincer)
To a mixing bowl: add to 1 cup of flour 1 teaspoon of baking powder
teaspoon of salt and 1 egg
Mix in the minced Paua and onion, as well as some finely chopped parsley,
then add cup of milk or more to make a fritter mix (not to stiff).
Fry in oil at a low temperature and serve.
If you can't them where you are just come over to God's Own
