So you don't feel like jumping into freezing water to gasp for breath between attempts at prying tenaciously attached "hubcaps" off the rocks at the bottom of the ocean? We might just have an alternative: fake abalone steaks. I haven't tried these yet but thought I'd pass them along anyway. Let me know how things turn out. Note - there are two different recipes presented here and they both require 36-48 hours for proper preparation.
