Abalone is a type of shellfish, a gastropod mollusc.
It is eaten and considered a delicacy in many parts of the world.
In New Zealand it is known by the Maori word 'Paua'. The inside of a paua shell is brilliantly coloured with iridescent blues, greens and pinks. It is usually found in the sea off rocky shorelines attached to the rocks with it's strong sucker-like 'foot'.
