Abalone

We export frozen blacklip and greenlip abalones from Tasmania.

The best quality fresh abalones are in Tasmania, which is renowned for producing some of the finest eating fish in the world.

Tasmania is surrounded by some of the most pristine oceans in the world. These clean, clear, cold waters provide the perfect environment for healthy stocks of abalone. The Tasmanian abalone fishing industry is managed by strict government catch quotas and size limits to ensure sustainable fishing practices.

 

Abalone fishing location in Tasmania

The two abalone species we use for our products are Blacklip (Haliotis rubra) and Greenlip (Haliotis laevigata). Blacklip abalone is found in all of the waters surrounding Tasmania, while the Greenlip is found only on the north coast of the island. The Blacklip size limit is larger than Greenlip and the Tasmanian Government specifies numerous zones surrounding the coastline, all with different size limits.
