Abalone? preferably not fried

I need some good recipes for abs. I've done the bread and fry thing and am looking for something different. Any one?

Blanch (in boiling water), cut up in small bite-sized pieces and prepare as you would ceviche.

Shitload of recipes on this site. Something interesting I read somewhere else, "Always drown your abalone in fresh water".

Right on. I did fritters with mine, but I think actual flavor of the abs was lost in the batter. Although they were very good!!

Slice thin - like no more than 1/8" thick - 1/16" if you can.

Pound the shit out of it until it looks like a pile of wet mushy cardboard. Rinse in cold water, and you might pound it again.

I know you don't like the "fry" thing, but try this anyway.

In a medium-to-hot skillet, drop a tablespoon of butter into the pan. The butter should immediately melt and bubble. Drop in a few pieces of ab in the hot butter. squeeze fresh lemon on the ab and a little seasoned pepper - NO SALT - remove from the pan and place on a plate to cool for a couple minutes while you cook the next few pieces. If the butter turns brown (burnt), pour it out, wipe out the pan and add a new amount of butter. We usually wipe the pan out after each piece is cooked so the butter doesn't burn. That's really important.

Serve with chilled Chardonnay.
