I am looking for a source in the U.S. for Chilean Abalone named Concholepas.
The Peruvians call it chanque. Does anyone know where this can be
purchased?

Mexgrocer.com is selling it from Royal Foods but claims to be out of stock.
I'm hoping to find a wholesale fish importer on the west coast of USA who
might have it cheaper.

You might ask Fish King in Glendale (CA) about where to look. They
sometimes carry farmed abalone from New Zealand, not what you're
looking for. But they are the best seafood source in the L.A. area
and may be able to point you in a useful direction.

They sounded pretty credible up until the last line.

You made me look and when I did I noticed that the posting software
didn't reproduce the full email address. It should be 'Fishkingsfd'
before the @aol.com. They are an outstanding business (with whom I
have no connection except as a customer) whether you want to look down
your snoot at aol or not. -aem
