There is a market by me that sells them live, in the tank. When I lived in San Fran, we used to go abalone diving up in Mendocino. We had to get a license to dive for them. 3 was the max and they had to be 7 inches or bigger. However, after a Great White Shark ripped the head off a diver, we no longer made the trip. Here is the article. Pretty scary:

Why the need for name-calling, K? The cat had nothing to do with the incident. It was a simple effort by me of using epigram humor. I see it didn't work. But my goodness why so quick to start name-calling?
