After the fun time over at the coast getting these abs, Milt gave the boys lessons on cleaning the abs and getting them ready to cook !
Can you tell John is still just a little bit upset that Kohl got the biggest ab? Here he's showing the largest shell of Kohl's big ab with a little shell of a small one John got. All in all, no one really cared - I think the boys all just had fun out in the water together.
John busy at work getting some of the abs cleaned.
Lee is diligently working on his share...
Kohl was working hard at getting some of the abs cleaned and ready to eat...
And, there's more to clean...
And even more....what a messy, yucky part of the job this is.
Milt works on slicing the abs up as the boys get them cleaned from the shells.
Back in the kitchen, Milt shows Kohl and John how to trim the meat up before we get it ready to cook....(are you beginning to see how hard you have to work to enjoy this west coast delicacy?)
And finally - the kids all get to enjoy the good dinner of home cooked abalone. Lucky for Josh that John and Kohl ran into him this afternoon and he hadn't made dinner plans !
The breading station on the back porch. Our recipe is that once the abs are cleaned and sliced, you pound them to tenderize the meat - then we dip it in flour, milk and egg, and then flour again and quickly fry it. I've heard there are some great recipes for bar-b-que abalone -- we'll have to see about trying one of those recipes.
Milt is trying to keep the ab cooked up as the kids begin their dinner. Good thing we have this outdoor frying station -- this would make a terrible mess on the kitchen stove !
Doesn't that look yummy ! (I really wouldn't know, the only 2 times I ate abalone it made me sick - so, guess I'm allergic to it - haven't wanted to take another chance on eating it !) From what I hear though, everyone loves abalone and doesn't always get a chance to eat it.
Looks like the dinner was surely a success....we'll see next summer whether these guys all want to go out for another trip ! And, you can see from the wet suits hanging up in the background, there is always more equipment clean up once you get back from the coast.
