Welcome to the home of the finest Abalone in the World
The cool clean waters of the southern oceans, pollution free and temperature stable are the source of the best abalone in the world. And nowhere are finer examples of these delicious molluscs found than around the unspoiled southern coastline of Australia where the species are harvested far from population centres and industrial pollutants so frequently encountered in the northern hemisphere.
Australia's abalone beds are among the best and of a size which are suitable and commercially viable. Our abalone resources are extremely well managed to avoid over exploitation and guarantee continuity of the resource.
Only the finest abalone are accepted for processing at Dover Fisheries. It's part of the philosophy that to produce premium quality canned abalone one must begin with the best quality raw materials.
The shell fish are delivered from the sea to our factory processing door and from that moment the most stringent quality controls are imposed on handling the molluscs.
Each abalone is inspected for blemishes and damage and is then graded according to colour and texture.After cleaning, the shellfish are graded once again and packed according to their quality and size.
Within a few hours of delivery, the abalone have undergone a series of scrupulous inspections, have been thoroughly cleaned and graded, packed and canned, ready for dispatch to the four corners of the world.Our stringent quality control methods also require continuous sampling of each day's production and these samples are tested in our laboratory to ensure they meet the highest standards and our meticulous product specifications.
Further testing is conducted by the Institute of Medical Veterinary Science for the quality of our ice, water and the sterility of our canned abalone.
