Apple PodcastsFor most of us, abalone, also known as ear shell, sea ear or mutton fish, is a seafood we’ve heard about but never tasted. They are single-shelled, algae-eating, marine molluscs. Rare Foods Australia, which up until last year was named Ocean Grown Abalone, built a world-first artificial reef to grow their abalone. Situated ~300km south of Perth in Augusta, Western Australia this artificial reef is made up of 5,000 separate concrete abalone habitat units. Each of these units can host 400 abalone each. Young abalone are sourced from an onshore hatchery and added to the units. They are then left to grow for two to three years before reaching a marketable size.
