#*: Perlemoen - also commonly known as Abalone - is one of the sea's most sumptuous offerings. This delicacy is not commonly found, however, owing to its endangered nature and costly price tag. In South Africa for instance, 67 Perlemoen would cost you R3 000 at 1997 prices. High economic returns to fishermen and recreational diving pressure have contributed to Perlemoen becoming an endangered species.
