Quick and easy pick up. They have parking at the end of the pier. People were very nice. We got fresh abalone and did not have to go dive to get it.

Fun and you get a lot of information on this industry. Really enjoyed the info on abalone and love the fact you can ask for shipments to come to your home throughout the year. Very cool

Nicest people ever! We bought seafood next door to bring back to the South and Monterey Abalone Co. were so cooperative in helping us pack the seafood for our flight home. I would definitely go back next time and check out their abalone farm.

Abalone diving and hunting is a tough gig. You go out, you dive and then you’ve got to pry the things off of the rock at the moment before they decide to suck themselves tightly like the bicep of a gorilla. Monterey Abalone provides you this delight for much less than the latter work I just described. Furthermore, they’ve come up with a farmed sustainable product that eats just as well the wild fare. Too bad this place is so far from where I live. I guess Ill just have to settle when I visit the family out here or rely on some chefs to get it for me!

My family and I just went this past Saturday to get some large abalones; we bought 16 in all and they were all pretty good in average size. When we were here last time (late last year), the largest abalone size wasn’t available so we settled for the next size down and it was just as good but it was very small (I am used to ones that are as big as an adult head). The abalones are always fresh, easy to clean and tastes very close to the wild abalones from the ocean which I’ve had a ton of time when I was little. If you are not up for the drive, they have next day shipping for only about $ 25 to the bay area, which is considered inexpensive when factoring how much gas costs these days!

As good as it gets because I’ve never encountered anything else like it. It’s an abalone farm under the pier. You choose the size of abalone you want and they’ll let you know how much per pound that size will be. Then the guy climbs down this ladder to fetch your abalone right out of the bay! They package the abalone and even include ice. The guy told us how to clean and cook the abalone as well. The abalone was really sweet and (obviously) fresh. I sauteed it with some mushrooms, dried scallops, and oyster sauce and laid it on top of a bed of baby bok choy. I will definitely be cooking my own abalone from now on!
