A South African term for abalone — those large, ear-shaped sea snails whose iridescent shells are prized as much as their meat. The word comes from Afrikaans and is used colloquially along South Africa's coastline, especially in the Western Cape where abalone harvesting (both legal and, notoriously, illegal poaching) is a major issue. If someone on the Cape coast says they're going to braai some klipkous, they're talking serious coastal cuisine.
