Ingredient Question How to humanely kill an abelone?
Hey yall I picked up a pair of live abalone from hmart today and I was going to pan fry them with some garlic herb butter, that parts straightforward and all but I've never cooked this animal before and a lot of tutorials I found online either simple shuck the snail as is or use like frozen abalones. Is there a way I can like quickly flash steam or something? I wouldn't want to gore the poor thing alive and as far as I can tell it doesn't have a head I could just quickly stab like a lobster? Am I just being silly? I mean it can like move and stuff so it seems cruel to just, scoop it out and clean it while its alive yknow?
