How many abalone in a can

If I remember correctly (Made it into a Louisiana gumbo), it was two large abalone, well packed. Very tasty.

Does it have an expiry date? How long can I keep it if unopen?

The cans I bought do have an expiration date (2020) and I would not recommend keeping it more then 48 hours open in the fridge.

what is "Abalone Type Shellfish?" Is this a fake Abalone?

This is NOT abalone. The can clearly says "abalone type" It may say it is a similar taste but if you have ever eaten real abalone, the taste cannot be copied and is not similar to any other shellfish. Abalone has a very delicate heady, musky, delicious aftertaste. I have never eaten anything that has a similar taste and the taste cannot be duplicated.! Be sure the label says it IS abalone and be prepared to pay a high price for it as well. If you pay $40 for an ounce, it may be real.( read the label) You can get Abalone type shellfish canned, in asian markets for $4 per can if you want to buy a fake but beware, it will not taste at all like abalone.

How do I prepare the abalone?

One doesn't prepare the abalone: it's edible right out of the can where I presume it was boiled. I use it in seafood salads or with Japanese cucumber salad. All one has to do is slice the abalone to the desired shape and size.

There were four nice pieces of about two ounces each loose-packed in broth

I have never had real abalone so this was an experiment. When I opened the can it was obvious that even though it was a sixteen-ounce can the weight of the solids would be something less. There were four nice pieces of about two ounces each loose-packed and floating in broth. The pieces looked just like the real abalone in the pictures of other products. Both the pieces and the broth were delicious. Jim

Not the REAL Abalone but tastes somewhat similar. For the price which is a fraction of the real thing, I can't complain. I'll be buying more in the future!~

Don't know why the good reviews but I am a seafood lover and when I opened the can it looked like big hunks of rubber and tasted the same to. Will never buy again considering you really do nor know what they are putting in the can. Could be cow tendons for all I know.

one of three cans dented

2/3 of the cans were fine. 1 of the cans was quite dented, making it unusable.

What is it?

What is this? Label said abalone type shell fish, so it's most likely not abalone. The shape looks to be cut from a large chunk of something, the texture is tender but no flavor. Could it be from a giant snail?

As close to real abalone as you can get.

Abalone type shellfish, whole pieces that can be cut on the bias. The slices were amazingly similar to real abalone. I like it sliced thin on a bias and served either just with a sprinkle of sea salt and a splash of lemon juice or in a ramen broth. It's a wonderful product I will purchase again.
