40 years ago, I enjoyed scalone at Italian restaurants and I haven't been able to find any since then. I don't think the scalone I ate was made of ground abalone and scallops, I think they were pounded together.
I live somewhat close to the ocean and can't find abalone either. Anyone know where I can find either?

Giovanni's fish market, Moro Bay, Calif. Be aware they are often out of stock. They ship all of US overnite, can be costly. When in stock they sell @ $20.00 per pound & minimum 1 pound. And yes, abalone & scallops are ground 50/50 then formed into patties usually 8 per pound.

There are online purveyors of live and frozen abalone, expensive though, $70 to $100 per pound

Charles Street Dinner House, Mariposa, Ca has scalone on their menu.

Very excited that I just found Giovanni's Fish Market that can ship scalone to me. I enjoyed this when I lived in San Francisco, Ca, but unfortunately, moved away from the bay, many years ago, and like the other comment above, have not seen scalone on a restaurant's menu, since.

I loved scalone when I dined in Santa Barbara CA on the pier at least 40 years ago. So glad to find a purveyer to supply some.

In the 1970s and 1980s in, of all places, a local diner in a very small farming town, Patterson, California, Mils Diner had a scalone dinner offering. Mom and her husband took me there and they suggested the scalone. I tried it and was hooked!!! Luscious!!! Exquisite!!! So extremely tasty!!!!!

I moved away and in the mid-continent area nobody has heard of scalone and the few times it was available on-line it was too darn expensive. Oh well. Memories of one of the finer foods I have ever eaten remain.

Curiosity led to a search for Mils Diner and it appears that wonderful item is no longer on the menu. Likely due to an inconsistent supply of scalone. Mother Earth simply can not support over SEVEN-BILLION humans stripping the biosphere of edibles. First-world countries are limiting birth rates. The 2nd- and 3rd-world better do the same or famines await.

I purchased green lipped Abalone at Costco. 24 hour thaw but will pound them together and saute as that is how I remember them in the 80's.
