Aquaculture, also known as aquafarming, is the farming of aquatic organisms such as fish, crustaceans, molluscs and aquatic plants. Aquaculture involves cultivating freshwater and saltwater populations under controlled conditions, and can be contrasted with commercial fishing, which is the harvesting of wild fish.

Caviar to Truffles

Many people enjoy the finer things in life.

When it comes to food, we've asked Key West Chef Alice Weingarten, chosen to prepare dinner at the prestigious James Beard Foundation in July 2000, to share her thoughts on fine food preparation.

 

Starting her culinary career at an early age, Chef Alice has developed a cuisine that bespeaks her beliefs that it should be delicious, beautiful to look at, and composed of a variety of flavors and textures.
