Best Answer

Abalone is a mollusc, class gastropoda. They're functionally very simple snails. The foot of the abalone is the msot commonly consumed part, although the liver and even the stomach contents (they're herbivores) are considered delicacies in some places, including Japan. Arguably, abalone are on the decline and, while still unprotected and a market animal, numbers are way down and I expect them to enter the protected lists soon. This is due to their very slow rate of reproduction (est. 5 years before they achieve legal size to catch), intense harvesting, and the fact that they're a very delicate animal.
