Founded in the 1970s, "On Kee Seafood" in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong is a well-known north-south Hong Kong business, specializing in seafood products such as abalone cucumber and winged bird's nest. Abalone is its flagship product, which is produced in Japan, Australia, South Africa, the Middle East and other places, and covers dried abalone, ready-to-eat abalone, frozen abalone, sashimi abalone, etc., and is a seafood shop with a rich selection of abalone. According to AC Nielsen's retail survey of canned seafood and boxed abalone in Hong Kong from September 2014 to August 2015, AC Nielsen, a world-renowned market research company, ranked first in Hong Kong in terms of sales volume of ready-to-eat boxed abalone and canned abalone.
 
On Kee's canned abalone products are one of the most popular and affordable canned abalone in Hong Kong, and are no less well-known than Ah Yi abalone. Most of its canned abalone are Australian abalone and New Zealand abalone, and the price is relatively low, and the mainstream products are equivalent to about 200~300 yuan, which is equivalent to the price of canned abalone in sauce of Ayi abalone. On Kee can be said to be the pioneer of making canned abalone with oyster sauce in the industry, and they applied flexible and transparent packaging to their canned abalone products earlier, intuitively showing the size and quality of abalone, in order to dispel customers' concerns about canned food "invisible and intangible". This strategy has proven to be successful, as evidenced by the fact that On Kee's soft-pack boxed products have been well received by the market since their launch, as evidenced by the leading sales in Hong Kong. These flexible packaging products are also made using the canned food process, which is no different from the traditional metal canning principle.
 
At present, On Kee's canned abalone products on sale include On Kee Instant Net Abalone, On Kee Australian Canned Abalone, On Kee Soup Abalone, On Kee New Zealand Canned Abalone, etc., while the soft-packed ready-to-eat abalone products include Instant Abalone, Instant South African Abalone, Instant South African Jumbo Abalone, etc. The grades and specifications of abalone are different, but most of them are packaged in 6 or 8 heads, and are aimed at mass consumers.
 
Among the four metal canned abalones, the soft-hearted instant net abalone is the most classic, made of Taiwanese farmed net abalone, the texture is smooth and sticky, the abalone umami is not outstanding, the sauce is fresh and sweet, but the flavor is mediocre, lack of personality, and the price is more than RMB 300, the performance is decent. Australian canned abalone is a clear soup can, only soaked in salt water, the appearance is good, the abalone taste is light, the meat is tough and hard, not easy to chew, slightly slag, it is recommended to cook the original can and then slice to enjoy it, not suitable to eat out of the can.
 
The lowest-priced New Zealand clear soup abalone sells relatively averagely, with uneven bald skirts, but fortunately, the thickness of the flesh is moderate; The abalone flavor is insufficient, the taste is smooth but a little tough, the soup is moderate, sweet and not salty. The flavor and taste of New Zealand abalone are deficient, but there are two large abalone for more than 100 yuan, which is very cost-effective, and it is recommended to soak the original pot in water for two hours to cook it softly, and then use the canned clear soup to add ingredients to cook. In addition, New Zealand abalone has a darker color, and generally cans will go through a process of bleaching, so those who mind should be cautious when purchasing.
 
The soft-packaged ready-to-eat soft-hearted abalone is made from Japanese varieties of Jipin abalone farmed in Taiwan, and this product is supervised by Executive Chef Huang Yabao of Yun Lai Xuan, a Chinese restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui. The abalone has a smooth taste, just the right amount of softness and toughness, and the abalone flavor is very strong; A lot of conpoy silk is added to the sauce, and the presence of conpoy enhances the umami of abalone, and the overall taste is sweet and sweet, and the performance is quite outstanding, which is worth recommending. The other two boxed ready-to-eat abalone are both brine consommés, one is South African abalone and the other is Australian abalone, South African abalone has a strong flavor and Australian abalone has a mild taste. South African abalone comes with a pack of abalone juice, a box of four heads; The ready-to-eat Australian abalone is a single end, with a net weight of 226~250 grams and a soft and tender texture, which can be directly opened and sliced for cold food or slightly heated to eat. The price of boxed ready-to-eat abalone is equivalent to about 300 yuan, which can be regarded as good value for money.
