Double Breaded Abalone Steaks
"I found this recipe on another web site and thought it was good enough to share, especially since there are very few abalone recipes listed on zaar. This might be because abalone is not something you can just run down to the store and buy. You must be able to dive or know someone that does, and loves you enough to share. This might be especially hard for the people that do not live near the coast. This breading would be great for chicken or other types of seafood/fish too. I hope you enjoy."

Oh My! That was freaking delicious! I followed the recipe but cooked the abalone maybe 15 sec. longer and used canola instead of olive oil. Thank you, yum. Now I have lunch for tomorrow.
