Miami's new fare depends on a wealth of fresh tropical materials, but the pride of the region is still its fish. Indian River soft-shell crabs and conch are year-round regulars on menus, as are pompano, dolphinfish, yellowfin tuna and lesser-known delicacies like wahoo and cobia, both meatier, more flavorful catches. There are endless variations on snapper -- yellowtail, mangrove, hog and mutton -- all of them sweeter, firmer and more tender than the red snapper shipped out of state...

...alleged rapes took place. "We understand they're upset, but that doesn't mean they're right. I accept fully that Amy and Kristene believe they were raped, but the hearing boards concluded that they hadn't been." If the men, who were found guilty of lesser charges, had committed forced sexual intercourse, he says, they would have been expelled. "It's like a court of law.
