[@hwasamyqueen6643]

When ur kinda attached to the abalone because of it’s cuteness then they show you the abalone steaks in the next clip. Wow. The trauma.

[@Ladyhoneybun242]

Ohhh they're so cute and my heart melted when I saw one of them walk on his hand especially when he said they have low vision.....then boom.....freeze dried and packaged you should have seen my face 🤣🤣🤣😥

[@rajaetulloch9058]

Please just dismiss yourself

[@amirahduggan4793]

Lmaoooo SAME!! Life comes @ ya fast. Even for an abalone

[@jjtr77]

Lol that timing was truly perfect! They are actually surprisingly cute

[@lynsijaynesimpson]

I came to say how cute it was too. Couldn't eat one. Too adorable 🥰

[@speeddemon45668]

Thing is like a turtlesnail or something. Something that'd be made up in avatar the last Airbender

[@SOS-ct9mv]

I remember as a kid my brother would go scuba diving and bring home abalone they were so damn good, a California tradition, until they got fished out.

[@matthew.maduli]

Never knew how Abalone were raised or what they looked like ALIVE before this video

[@gdcleanfun]

I miss them. So sweet!

[@ivybrandyn]

Thanks for doing this video. I was randomly curious and this didn’t disappoint.

[@StephenJEscobedo]

Absolutely brilliant! I want to show this to my Summer school students!

[@FATHERSOFBASS]

That big ass bandaid handling the food grossed me out

[@sharkymcstevenson2984]

How much abalone does this guy eat my mans jacked lolol

[@DeaconHo]

Abalone is the epitome of cuteness and richness

[@prettyalina7237]

Its kinda cute especially when it walks😄😆

[@zrak3992]

abalxxx

[@Hemalatha-mw5sq]

I agree

[@tripornasartgallery6442]

That wasn't beautiful.but cute

[@t-man5196]

Only *kinda* cute?

[@rubles88alvarez83]

3:42 it’s giving off turtle vibes with the way it walks. I wonder if they have a single foot or several?

[@julielabelle2783]

Thank you.

[@johnyarnell8033]

Amazing, that is a lot of information. I'm going to try and order some. Thanks

[@keirymarquez5475]

This is very interesting. I mean I find abalones disgusting but I didn't know all this!

[@samhodge7460]

Cool stuff. Thanks for sharing!

[@drpepperr]

About 15 years ago I was looking at beachfront rentals in Cayucas.

[@makpazon11]

Abalone shells are beautiful. These creatures create amazing mother of pearl layer inside the shell.

[@jamesparker1063]

I'm not sure if the "red abalone" (such as featured on this vid) produces the colorful abalone that you are referring to....(mother of pearl, is actually from an oyster).....

[@makpazon11]

@james Parker Pearl oysters supply the majority of "mother of pearl" material; Abalone supplies about 30% of it.

[@bandilla7317]

oh Avery beautiful farming idea awesome.

[@mienchen07]

I love nature.

[@lucylaferriere9307]

i "caught" one in animal crossing and i needed to find real videos of them, thank you

[@greenscarab2]

Okay I can't watch! I read the first comment and I dont want to become depressed by seeing how cute it is and boom dead.🥺

[@itedino]

Chinese stew abalone is still the best way to cook and eat. With brown sauce

[@ohhhumdum6626]

corona?

[@taromilk9726]

Shut up

[@ahemahem8106]

abalones are fucking delicious

[@izzyyellowhair7117]

I can't believe that we use these Abalone shells as smudging.

[@wyatttennant7800]

It is very interesting... I didn't know about any of that cool stuff! (I bet it tastes good!)

[@WatEvasCleva24]

SOOO GOOD! Shrimp cocktail with Abalone, best seafood you could eat👌

[@bogalusa5]

Beautiful creatures.

[@ivycolumbrillo1601]

Wow how I wish I can work here in this farm of abalone

[@alfredocastellanos1153]

Haliotis rufescens?

[@hotrudderedbumgiabroni5852]

Former California uni diver now living in Maine here. Where can I purchase some of your retail product? I so miss having a freezer full of wild caught ab.

[@jennyclark6183]

How are they killed?

[@UNOwen1]

This one (4:07) ostensibly to be quite happy hanging out 😉.

[@hoangdang3652]

looks delicious

[@magiusfantasia5506]

I was just eating abalone just now for dinner and decided to youtube what they look like alive. --like not just the raw meat that I normally see at markets, but the whole animal. ...I did not know that it was a type of snail. I thought all my life that it was some kind of clam. >_>;;

[@Zane-It]

Here in califorina there shells make amazing jewelry.

[@timothy6966]

Well, snails and clams are very closely related.

[@Dannihill1989]

Awesome 👍

[@laiminkin6709]

They are soooooo cute ♥️♥️♥️♥️😊😊

[@kx250braap]

Something is wrong with you this is one of the nastiest looking creatures

[@louisahernandez2036]

Where can I buy some

[@Azzeyman25]

how do you keep seagulls away

[@englishlongbow935]

You were lucky handling that abalone. They normally go for your throat.

[@luthiao]

What do you do with the shells, as inedible parts?

[@joehorton5067]

They polish them and cut them up for use as adornments. It's commonly used on higher end guitars in the United States.

[@kx250braap]

@@joehorton5067 wow I’m a guitar player and never knew abalone came from this it looks beautiful but never would have thought it was from this nasty looking sea creature

[@fbabdiver]

how much per lb? i'm ready to order

[@southjerseysound7340]

the steaks are $125 per pound and live whole are $30 each for a 7-8oz whole w shell

[@o4saken1]

I got here by searching 'abalone' because it's part of a clean up crew for saltwater tanks... suddenly i see them being served as food! yikes! haha

[@lesj7520]

I want to visit this place, i love and miss abalone, with all the poachers and the sea urchins ruining it😮

[@seiyuokamihimura5082]

Abalone is a snail right? They look like a snail.

[@blaggzear3152]

sea snail

[@carmineredd1198]

since you own the farm why not let them grow 20 years or more

[@lulabella9968]

They are delicious! A bit tough so you have to pound the heck out of the steaks.

[@kennymichaelalanya7134]

I just ate this yesterday. They don't mention how hard it is to catch in the wild or how expensive it is. I still prefer not to eat seafood though if given the choice.

[@CharlesNewkirk-lb6uh]

I want a job there!

[@yaelgarcia459]

So it's a clam without the bottom shell?

[@ConvairDart106]

snail

[@kamerad_marzuki3631]

Gastropod

[@pppppplll780]

coool

[@defiwallettutorials9464]

I wanna come to the farm please please

[@CirqueitOfficial]

I've never heard of Abalone before but saw it on a sushi site so I got curious... Holy crap they look like nightmare creatures though!!

[@RTDavis0503]

Aliens live here

[@evanh9301]

wow

[@thegamingman1276]

How the hell are abalones cute?? They look weird!

[@lanasumner4683]

I had to come and see about this beauties. Because I just saw this monster devouring one in a sauce. It look like she was enjoying it too 🤨

[@lisatuma4787]

uggghhhhh the bandaid

[@handle9005]

No

[@thelogicchannel1165]

OMG

[@tristar236]

These creatures are nightmare fuel

[@kx250braap]

These things are so nasty looking I wanna know who the first person was that though hmmm let me eat this it looks tasty 🤮

[@TheRealChrist210]

I was searching for random foods and its weird how the best tasting foods aren't supposed to be eaten as foods lmao

[@giannimolluso5846]

This has to be one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen and to think People actually eat it.

[@t-man5196]

Ewww, farm-raised seafood

[@HapillyMe]

Yuck!!! 👎👎👎

[@OumyNeferti]

WHAT wouldn't humans eat? These creatures evolved to look inedible and to live hidden and yet humans found them. They should have be poisonous to be left alone.
