...Nothing, if you don't make a habit of it. But -- notice that I am opening Uh-Oh at random -- right here he's in a grocery store, holding a can of tuna fish and being sensitive. He thinks about 'all the incredible learning and working and the machinery and the processes and the fishing boats and fishermen and factory ships and trains and trucks that brought it here from so far away.' When I read that, I don't feel so good...
Some of the best-known exemplars of the new tropical taste are hidden away in suburban shopping strips. At Chef Allen's in North Miami Beach, Allen Susser's most popular dishes include rock-shrimp hash topped by a mustardy sabayon sauce, followed perhaps by seared citrus-crusted yellowfin tuna with a macedoine of papaya, mango and yellow pepper. At Mark's Place, North Miami diners line up early for Mark Militello's signature dish, curry fried oysters nestled on a tamarind-banana salsa and West Indian bread, all topped with an orange sour cream.

For the next five months he drove speedboats, cooked for the crew -- and surreptitiously filmed the hundreds of dolphins trapped and drowned in the Maria Luisa's nets. The resulting 11-minute video, aired on network news shows, not only triggered a nationwide boycott of tuna in 1988 but also forced canners to change their ways. Last year H.J. Heinz, Van Camp Seafood and Bumble Bee Seafoods announced that they would no longer buy tuna caught in the dolphin-killing nets...
