'''Abalone''' (from Spanish abulón) are small to very large-sized edible sea snails, marine gastropod mollusks in the family Haliotidae and the genus Haliotis. Common names for abalones also include '''ear-shells''', '''sea ears''', as well as '''muttonfish''' or '''muttonshells''' in Australia, '''ormer''' in Great Britain, '''perlemoen''' and '''Venus's-ears''' in South Africa and '''pāua''' in New Zealand.
===Culinary use===
The meat (foot muscle) of abalone is used for food, and the shells of abalone are used as decorative items and as a source of mother of pearl.
The meat of this mollusk is considered a delicacy in certain parts of [[Latin America]] (especially [[Chile]]), [[France]], New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and East Asia (especially in [[China]], Japan, and [[Korea]]). In China abalone sometimes forms part of a Chinese banquet. Similar to shark fin soup or birds nest soup, it is considered a luxury item, and is traditionally reserved for special occasions such as weddings and other celebrations. However, the availability of commercially farmed abalone has allowed more common consumption of this once rare delicacy.

In Japan, live and raw abalone are used in awabi sushi, or served [[steamed]], [[salted]], [[boiled]], chopped, or [[simmered]] in [[soy sauce]]. [[Salted]], fermented abalone entrails are the main component of tottsuru, a local dish from Honshū. Tottsuru is mainly enjoyed with [[saki]].
