  1. What is the nearest fish 🐟 to abalone tasting wise
    We don't have it here not to the best of my knowledge
    Really really enjoyed this video 👋👋
    Keep up the awesome work love from 🇮🇪☘️🤗

  2. Why are you calling them the rarest? I can easily catch them in several locations in my state. Very quick and easy to gather up a feed. 🤷‍♂️
