Crumbed abalone with Meyer lemon mayo

This totally delicious, albeit simple, dish of crumbed and fried abalone was shown to me by fellow diver Mic Giuliani, but it didn’t really cut the mustard with the abalone divers during a cook-off on Tassie’s west coast. Curiously enough however, my dish was the first to disappear from the table as people casually dipped chunks of this amazing shellfish in the quality home-made mayo. I’ll let actions speak louder than words.
