🇳🇿 Paua, Abalone from New Zealand!

A close-up food photo showing slices of cooked paua (New Zealand blackfoot abalone) arranged in a ring on a bed of alfalfa sprouts. The pale, firm flesh is grilled and scorched, with the distinctive dark black skin and frilly edges left on each piece. A reddish sauce or glaze sits in the centre of the plate. No angler, gear or water is visible — this shows the prepared catch.
