My Biggest Abalone Ever ! Untouched Grounds , Catch Clean cook , Abalone Burgers 

Love to see Sam have a camera. You could cut to 'SamCam' when he spots a big Larry. Just a thought. Absolutely love the channel 🙂

Our Abalone in South Africa are also large like the American and Aussie ones America also has the smaller red ones. I use a French Recipe that a French chef passed on to my dad. It goes like this clean, slice and beat the abalone, salt and pepper and put plenty butter in a pressure cooker,place abalone in and close lid bring up pressure on medium heat cook only 5/10 minutes or so or the butter is likely to burn. Take off heat reduce pressure remove lid add a cup or so of white wine and a sprinkling of nutmeg. Cook further without lid until the sauces have thickened then enjoy with rice. Since then I’ve discovered how to tenderize them without pulverizing the steaks. You take live abalone shuck them and stand them face down on a hard surface when the muscle sags and hangs slackly on one side give it 5 very hard wacks with a mallet place in boiling water for 4 minutes and then remove and prepare as you like, a fork should easily penetrate through the meat and it will be the most tender abalone you’ve had.

Due to your channel the husband and I have put Guernsey on our vacation list ...I hope the tourism board is paying you, your channel is gold.

You are the Bees knees I enjoy all you videos, entertaining and informative, keep it up good luck, tight lines.

In South Africa they chop the ABALONE into small cubes - mix with garlic olive oil and some spices and chilli - scoop out the bud of a big Kelp thingy - fill it with the mixture - wire up the kelp bud then toss it on the coals until its cooked - absolutely delicious ❤

Having lived by Fort Brag on the West Coast of America we get a much larger Abalone here but we have to dive in dangerous waters to get them. right into the cold Pacific ocean. I would say on average ours will go 7 to 9 inches. They have be pounded well with a meat hammer and will pound out to around 12 inches and then I make them the same way you do from there on. I don't let them get to brown, maybe frying them on a med to med high heat for around 45 seconds per side (when you pound them out that far they cook really fast and of you cook to long (say over a minuet per side) you might just as well chew on your wellies since the wellies will be much more tender. Do you ever get any really large one or have you ever tried any American Abalones? Your look like the right size and I would like to try them some day. You make them look delicious with just a bit of sauce, lettuce, and fresh hot on a roll

Now that looked delicious the honey was a great idea, delicious, they would grace any top restaurants menu, well done Smash

I want to try abalone so bad! They are on the top of my food bucket list.

Great entertainment, maybe put pots out at your little island area?

as always this was fun Jay 💪🏼😁🇮🇹 Sam is a pretty chill bloke, i super love your catch and cook videos they really make my daySSS (yes i rewatch videos from 3 years ago 😁)

I've never had one but u sure do make them look so good. I'm in cali and we haven't been able to get them for years. Soon maybe

My goodness I would love that shell that is a monster size goodness Jay that’s a beautiful shell. I hope Sam’s finding some big ones like that.❤❤

You differently need to come to new Zealand bro , the abalone are huge over here , and the sea urchin aswell , would be a great trip for you 👌

The amount of work you put in to your work you deserve everything you get and more. Keep up the great work mate.

No, a little bit of charcoal does not hurt you. It’s actually good for your digestive system. It helps keep you regular.❤❤

Super dingy is living up to its name mate!

Really cool that you guys are going into uncharted territory....Those burgers looked delicious......thank

Its brilliant watching you too forage , Burgers are yum yum

The you tube algorithm keeps sending me recipes for steamed ormer from Chinese cooking channels maybe try one some day.

@18:43 The toasting bun on top of the toaster is a total game changer...Some proper busters found as well...Game changer on the ormer foraging fo' sho'...🤫

Nice catch...Delicious...Haven't seen your dog around lately ?

These are the biggest I've seen on your channel mate. Absolute monsters. Tbh I don't even remember any other content creator having big as yours. Holy crap :)

Fantastic video. Love the "uncharted territory" feel. Like being on another planet! Those abalone looked like something out of Jurassic Park. Your family must have been amazed at the size of them? I'd love to know what your dad said when he saw how big they were? Great content 👌 Hope to see more like it in the future. 👍

Those ormer burgers look sensational,Smash. Good video.

Those look delicious

Great burgers and wonderful video. Ha thank you!☺️

Love ❤️ it man!!!

the fastest I think I have seen you eat a burger in years 🤣 looks really nice brother

That kelp looks pretty tasty too

Wow such big beautiful Ormers!

Nice burgers mouth watering here 👍

Nice video Jay 🤘. As you wouldn't find that at McDonald's . You would probably have to ask your mortgage consultant 🤣😉

I cannot express how much I want to try an Orma, especially a gigantic one

Oh my god PLEASE! Those look so amazing! I wish I could get some ormer over here because these burgers (either the coated or even the non-coated) always make me want to try them! Sadly, the only options I have are frozen ormers from one of the Asian markets, to which usually have some kind of seasoning already on them. Or, ordering them online, to which - I'd get way too many. I don't want that many in case I end up not liking them.

10/10 video...11/10 abalone burger...looked delicious

Smash & Grab lol , Great Vid Jay !

Love seeing you's doing well, but forsee a fleet of dinges following you the next time. 👀👀🙄😎

Love to see that.

Hi, guys! How are you? Nice ormers catch! I can never get over how clean and clear the water is. What kind of seaweed is the orange colored ones? Be well.

Nice and dry Sam's out 🥺🥺🤣🤣

Hell yeah 💪👍👍

Nice. Flour then fried in garlic butter for me. Then tomato sauce on the bun ! Savage 😂

Those were big ones!!!

Awesome

Should do a abalone big Mac burger 😍😍

come 2 new zealand almost every fish and chip shop has ormer burgers, or ormer fritters, but we call them paua pronounced power really delicious diced up and fried with onions and mushroom's till golden then simmered in cream.

WOO!!

You might want to keep that location quiet. Next time you go back, you might not be so lucky. Fantastic work. Really enjoyed watching 👌

Just save me one of them big big shells please Jay just one big one❤❤

Hey Sam😁

You certainly seem to have found the abalone honey hole 💪🦀🦞

Screw the ormer burger. . That beast is an ormer steak baby!! Damn!!!

Yes Sir

I gotta move to Guernsey 😀

I think you should call your dinghy the smash landing craft 😉

I remember when I was a kid my mom had a abalone shell as candy dish which later turned into an ashtray 😢 it was so pretty before my mom started to smoke it looked like a dark opal all fire and blue with greens and orange thrown in this thing was ten inches tip to end she got at Marineland back in the day so when you see these abalone they ain't nothing come prepared to what use to be found.

No better feeling turning a rock and finding ormers

Right that's it Jay. I'm coming for dinner 😂

I know that spot ,, that’s one of my bass marks one the left a little cove

Add tomatoes and cheese and lots of Mayo.

here in singapore i see teeny tiny abalone sold in supermarkets

What's happened to your boat? Haven't seen a video of you on it in a while

Is there a daily limit for ormers during the season?😁

the abalone are still baby boys to the ones here in tasmania

what happened to Sam's kayak that was a good project

👍🇨🇦

Hey Smash How can I send you a diagram for Mid-water fishing??

do you make those shellfish guages yourself or do you need to buy official ones ??

Don’t your hands get cold, buddy? I pulled a couple oysters off the rocks today ( I live on the coast of Delaware USA) and my hands were frozen for the rest of the day lol

I want to try an ormer burger so bad but they just don't exist in the Ozarks..

Sadly, I can't handle spicy food of any kind. Because the food you cook does look great.

Why did you sell the big boat?

the one thing that is missing....... THANKING GOD

Are Ormers chewy and fishy tasting?

Can I get an order to go Smash?

how many minutes do these bad boys fry for?

I'm confused. I thought you said the abalone season was only a few days a year.

Sadly, I can't handle spicy food of any kind.

a bit of charcoal cant go wrong xD it only give you more risk on cancer xD it looks freaking delecious tho !!

These are not Aabalones. Abalones are much bigger.

if they sold ormers in restaurants then they would be exploited.

If a fish is 7 to 10 years old you let it go same as what your eating now because they are about 6 to 7 years old fact

Learn to count lol its 45 between the pair of you

BIG UP SMASH FISHING!!! GET LIKING AND SUBSCRIBING l! WHAT A BOKE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MATEY!!!

I thought he said 2 wankers. 😂😂🇬🇧⚓⚓🎣🎣

Yes Sir
