Abalone Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

"I got an abalone! Why do I want a sandwich now?"

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  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 it by the inside of its shell instead.
