Hi everyone,
I went for a snorkel yesterday and I got 5 abalone. They were all mostly pretty small (10cm) but a couple of larger ones (maybe 12 or 13 cm).
We are cooking them up at the moment. My fiance is chinese and her parents are visiting so I thought they might like to try this delicacy. Though personally I have never liked eating them so it will be interesting to see if they can make a nice dish out them.
Afterwards, we watched the fisherman and they did not catch anything worth getting. One guy seemed to keep hooking stingrays or something like that and had 20 minute battles that never resulted in anything getting landed.
The other guys were catching small fish. I think they could have been parrot fish or something like that.
It was quite windy. Not an ideal day.
Cheers, Glen
