WILD

Aqunion processes and sells wild abalone for reputable wild abalone quota holders.  These wild abalone are harvested by hand by trained divers in strictly controlled harvesting seasons.

Aqunion also processes and sells wild, ranched abalone on behalf of its sister company, Diamond Coast Abalone. Located on the wild, undeveloped Northern Cape coast of South Africa, this company is one of the first and very few in South Africa that is piloting abalone ranching as a viable form of replenishing abalone stock in the ocean.

This involves seeding juvenile abalone onto the ocean floor in special locations. These abalone then live and grow wild, in the natural environment, until they are harvested by trained divers. From seeding until harvest there is no human interference or input. This results in a completely natural product, with a much sought-after grown-in-the-wild taste and appearance.

Dried

Made with an age-old recipe which locks in all the sea-fresh flavours, plumping up to a juicy abalone once cooked.

  • Produced from 150-250g live weight.
  • Naturally dried to our special recipe, loved by chefs in Asia to produce top class dishes.
