Abalones are shellfish that are highly prized in culinary circles for their delicate and slightly sweet flavor. They are often considered a delicacy in many cuisines, especially in Asian and Mediterranean dishes, often thinly sliced and delicately cooked. Flavor pairings: They pair well with light and subtle flavors that don't overpower their delicate taste, such as butter, garlic, and various herbs.
