New Taipei City’s Gongliao celebrates arrival of abalone season

Abalone farmers in New Taipei City’s Gongliao have enjoyed a good harvest this year. Both the quantity and the quality of abalone this year have been greater than previous years. This local seafood is especially tasty when served steamed, marinated, or cooked in a soup. Fresh Taiwan abalone are first boiled in water and then mixed with oyster sauce for a quick stir fry. In less than five minutes, this tasty abalone dish is served.Liao Jung-chingNew Taipei Department of Agriculture Thanks to the great harvest this year, the price (of abalone) is cheaper.
