Abalone is a primitive marine monohull mollusk, half-sided shell, thick shell, flat and wide, is a traditional Chinese precious ingredient, ranking first among the four sea flavors.

The soft part has a wide flat fleshy foot, the soft body is flat oval, yellow-white, the large one resembles a tea bowl, and the small one resembles a copper coin.
Chinese medicine believes that abalone has the effect of nourishing yin and yang, quenching thirst and drenching, and is a kind of seafood that is tonic but not dry, and there is no side effects such as toothache and nosebleeds after eating.
The mantle membrane of the abalone is the same shape as the shell, covering the entire back of the body, unlike other snails there is a crack on the right side of the abalone mantle membrane, and the position of this crack is equivalent to the position of the hole at the edge of the shell, and tentacles grow on the edge of the crack.
We eat abalone mainly by eating the muscles of its feet.
The biggest difference between "fake abalone" and "real abalone" is that the former has a shell plate in the center of the back, which is peeled off when processed and dried, but it always leaves obvious marks.
