Donating to the museum[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

Upon being donatedmuseum, the abalone can be found in the large pool in the first room of the sea exhibit, along with many other species of sea creatures. It is found close to the entrance of the large saltwater exhibit. The exhibit has this to say about the abalone:

"Abalones grow less than an inch a year, so it takes several years for them to grow to full size. They are related toear shells and have been used in celebrations and offerings since ancient times."

InNew Horizons[edit]

When donating to Blathers or selecting "Tell me about this!" inNew Horizons, he will provide the following information about the fish:

"My feathers, but the abalone is a most deceptive sea snail, wot wot! After seeing its dull brown shell from the outside, one would think it quite plain. But take a gander inside, and you'll see that the abalone's home is a shimmering beauty to behold! The inner layer of the shell is made of "nacre," or "mother-of-pearl," and, hoo, what a dazzling iridescent hue! Let this be a lesson! You mustn't judge a sea snail by the outside of its shell. Judge by the inside of its shell instead."

Once donated, the abalone can be seen in the coast tank with theturban shell andseaweed.

Fishing Tourney[edit]

InNew Leaf[edit]

As a sea creature, the abalone cannot be scored during aFishing Tourney, but it can still be given toChip, who will say the following:

"With abalone, you can make sashimi, steam or sauté 'em, or anything. It's all good! Go abalone wild! Not that I mind just eating them like this! YUMMY YUM!"
