RED ABALONE (Haliotis rufescens),
northern California: the biggest abalone in the world, its name refers to the red “bark” covering the outside of the shell.
Nacre is pale pink to intense dusky pinks, greens, and violets; the central muscle-scar area of the shell yields the much sought-after dark and burly “heart” pieces. Because of overfishing, otter depradation, and a recent outbreak of mysterious “withering foot disease”, the commercial fishery has been shut down indefinitely, so availability is zero at present.
