Greenlip Abalone
A tier
Greenlip abalone (Haliotis laevigata) shows a green edge to the shell lip and is prized in Australia for tender, premium meat often ranked above blacklip for fine dining. Flavour is clean and slightly sweeter; texture takes delicate steaming as well as steak work. Serve simply with citrus or light soy. Premium live greenlip commands banquet prices in export markets. Do not confuse shell colour alone with quality—handling matters more.
