I usually cook it in a frying pan with chopped parsley and garlic and potatoes.

They taste all good. I find about 2 - 3 each person is enough for a meal. They are nice whole. A bit more tender and flavour is a bit more subtle than black foot. ]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:22:40 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18844&PID=251546&title=abalone#251546 <![CDATA[Abalone : Has anyone eaten yellow foot paua?

Has anyone eaten yellow foot paua?
 
I see quite a few, and leave them as I would need 10 for a meal. Not really keen to take 10 if they taste like poop.

I was looking at the wikipedia page on Paua, they called the Yellow-foot 'Silver paua'. I never heard of tht name before, is it commonly used?

Maybe I should edit the wiped page because the name 'yellow-foot' is what mfish uses and is not mentioned anywhere in the article.]]> Sun, 11 Feb 2007 09:15:24 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18844&PID=251196&title=abalone#251196 <![CDATA[Abalone : 3rd species is the virginian paua....]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18844&PID=251193&title=abalone#251193 Author: herby

3rd species is the virginian paua.
Dont bother getting them, they're small and uncommon. Nice shells though.

There are three main species in New Zealand. Paua can only be caught by free diving. It is illegal to dive for paua using scuba equipment.

You are allowed to take 10 of the common Paua (Haliotis iris) when they are larger then 125mm and 10 of Yellow foot if they are over 80mm in length. I have never seen any information regarding the third species they are not very common but in theory they would be part of the 50 mixed species bag limit.

Saying that I generally only take 3 or 4 paua every few trips. Like all seafood some people love them others don,t.

Depending on the part of the country they can be very common and easy to harvest or quite rare and a challenge. Generally the further south you go the more common and larger they become.

This link has more info regarding them

Hi !

Learning a lot about spearfishing in NZ and the species there :)

I understood you got some kind of abalone called paua over there.
Here we have abalonies which are really really delicious to eat, one of the best shell in my opinion. Unfortunately its not legal to catch it while diving.

Is it legal in NZ ? Do u have many species ? How good is it ?
