Our Abalone
Our Tiger Abalone is named for its distinctive tiger stripe feature on the foot, setting it apart as a truly unique species. This abalone boasts a natural pearl white flesh, a sweet and subtle flavor, and a succulent texture that delights the palate. As a combination of Green Lip and Black Lip abalone, Tiger Abalone captures the best qualities of both species.
Compared to Black Lip abalone, Tiger Abalone offers a more appealing color and a tender texture that elevates any dish. Additionally, it yields better results after cooking than Green Lip abalone, making it a superior choice for chefs. Its longer tank-to-tank tolerance is also ideal for live shipment, ensuring that our abalone arrives in perfect condition.
Crafted with care, our Tiger Abalone represents the combination of the two most renowned abalone species in Australia. This delicacy promises a unique dining experience that you will savor and remember.
Abalone farming is a slow yet rewarding endeavor, with each abalone taking at least three years to reach commercial size. At our land-based operation, our Tiger Abalone thrive in a controlled environment where the seawater temperature profile is just right for their optimal growth.
We are proud to produce our abalone from stock bred on our farm. When the abalone are just 5 days old, they are placed into nursery tanks, where they graze on natural algae. This diet is essential for their rapid growth during the early stages. By 6 months old, the juvenile abalone are moved into weaning tanks and start transitioning to a grain-based pellet diet. After another year, they are transferred to final growing tanks. Throughout their growth, the abalone are graded and counted to ensure they have the best growing conditions.
Our Tiger Abalone prefer to stay in a dark environment due to their nocturnal nature. In the wild, they would hide under seaweed and rocks to avoid predators. To replicate this natural habitat, we operate in darkened sheds and use head torches to minimize stress and avoid exposing them to daylight.
Our tanks are designed with high flows of fresh seawater, circulating day and night to maintain ideal conditions. To keep the tanks clean, we utilize water waves that flush out any waste. The abalone are fed specially formulated diets that meet their protein requirements at every stage of their life cycle.
Unlike wild-caught abalone, which is subject to seasonal limitations and environmental conditions, our land-based abalone farm offers the unique advantage of year-round harvesting. This consistent availability allows us to cater to diverse market demands without the constraints of traditional abalone fishing seasons.
At our farm, we meticulously raise abalone in a controlled environment, ensuring optimal growth conditions throughout the year. This approach enables us to harvest abalone of various sizes, ranging from 30g to 200g, providing a wide selection to meet different culinary preferences and market needs.
By eliminating the unpredictability of the wild abalone season, we guarantee a steady supply of premium-quality abalone, whether you’re looking for smaller, delicate options or larger, more substantial selections. Our sustainable farming practices not only support the environment but also ensure that our abalone maintain the highest standards of quality and freshness.
With our land-based operation, you can enjoy the finest abalone all year round, making it easier for chefs, retailers, and seafood enthusiasts to source the exact size and quality they require, whenever they need it.
