Squid, or Calamari, is rather popular in many parts of the world.

Yep. I have calamari in some form or another probably once a week.

I used to be able to get abalone, but it seems to have vanished,
victim of endangered species restrictions.

Victim of over-harvesting and habitat degradation.

And, around here, the recovery of the sea otter population.


Its the eco loons meddling and over comensating with their conservation
efforts.


You can still buy and eat abalone, if you must. Nobody will call you a
loon for doing so. It'll likely be the product of a controlled harvest
of non-endangered species. Your kids might be able to do the same,
when they're your age. Knock on wood.

but never mind....
