Looking for abs! (and crays)

Unfortunately the crays were a little too cunning and the pot came up empty. All was not lost though as an abalone was acquired and fried in garlic and butter. I have never had fresh abalone before and like most things, fresh is best. It was delicious and I look forward to obtaining more. Also, unusally for the west coast the weather for quite nice, so all in all a productive and educational exercise.
