...seviche, tamales and bobo de camarao (shrimp in cassava and coconut-milk sauce), and "deconstruct them," as Leal says, into haute cuisine with a presentation that can be as much fun as Carnaval. They have coaxed surprisingly velvety textures and piquant tastes out of soups like black bean or fish sancocho. Dishes include duck escabeche with white-chocolate carrot mousse, right, and grouper braised with aji, a sweet Venezuelan pepper. Desserts are made from Venezuelan chocolate or fresh fruits, left. The result: a refreshingly classical approach to the often hypertrendy world of pan-Latin dining. --By Tim Padgett
...turn back after 20 minutes. The cat made its way into the cockpit and scratched the copilot "aggressively" on the arm. Brushing aside fears of a feline terror plot, the airline promptly launched a new advertisement promoting the quality of its in-flight food under the slogan "Fresh fish every day" - and featuring a picture...
...among different factions of the food industry, some helped and others hurt by increased imports. Two years ago, farmers and ranchers, allied with consumer groups, won the day, and a new federal law set a deadline of Sept. 30, 2004, for retailers to identify the national origin of meat, fish, fruits, vegetables and peanuts.

Should the same ocean-caught fish be labeled NORWEGIAN or AMERICAN, depending on the flag of the ship? And what's a consumer to make of hamburger that contains beef bred in Canada, fattened in the U.S. and ground up with Australian trimmings...
Passions in the fish industry run just as high. Imported shrimp, much of it farmed in Thailand and China, has bankrupted fishermen along the U.S. Gulf Coast. Alaska fishermen, who catch only wild salmon at sea (fish farms are prohibited in the state), are being hammered by farm-raised salmon from Chile and Canada. "In 1988 I got $1 a pound for pink salmon. Now I get 7¢," says Scott McAllister, steering his boat past Alaska's Glacier Bay. He believes labels will help. "[People] will think it's cool to buy Alaska salmon from a wild and grizzly...
