📕 Description: The texture of abalone sushi can vary depending on how it was prepared by the sushi chef. If tenderized, abalone sushi can be as soft as cooked squid. Raw abalone is very firm and described as having a slightly crunchy texture similar to raw squid.
😋 Taste: Abalone sushi has a delicate and subtle taste that is similar to a clam. Abalone liver is sometimes chopped finely and used as a topping on Abalone sushi. The male abalone liver has a dark brown color and female abalone liver has a green color. The abalone liver adds a rich umami flavor to any abalone sushi.
