Abalone
Abalone belongs to the Shell family that is one of the most valuable seafood. They have long history going strong into the 21st century. At the end of Western Han Dynasty, the first emperor Wang Mang of the new Dynasty (9AD-23AD) was very fond of abalone. And the hero cacao of three Kingdoms (220AS-280AD) was also a great fan of the shellfish.
A great poet XU Dong Bo of southern Sung Dynasty (1127AD-1279AD) wrote a poem called “Fu Fish Song” (Fu Fish is the classical name of Abalone), praising the wonder and preciousness of abalone.
For most people, abalone is comparatively costly. To eat the best grade abalone in China will cost about two years’ salary of regular Chinese citizen. Abalone is valuable, not only because of the long cultivation period and great demand, but also because of its nutritional properties recognized the world over. From early times, sick elderly and young family members alike are often offered boiled abalone soup as a cure, as much for its healthy composition as for its good taste. Even cultivated abalone must be raised with natural food only. It is one of the most expensive ingredients added to such high-class cuisines as Shark’s Fin soup, Monk jumps over the Wall, and swallow’s nest soup. Its potency is said to be good for eyesight, strengthening immunity, and can prevent some types of cancer.
