Adam (sure I'll eat that Scotch bonnet-studded side of beef and that pound of curly fries) Richman is hosting a new Travel Channel show/contest called "Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America. " And it works just like you'd think. He and his producers purportedly scoured the nation to find the 30 best sandwiches "from 27 cities in ten geographical regions. " (Do we even have 10 geographic regions?) OK, so what do they pick from New England? Maybe an old school lobster roll from Red's in Wiscasset, Maine?

Located in the Hilton Boston Downtown/Financial District, Nix's Mate might seem like any other hotel restaurant. But the man behind the menu is chef David Nevins, previously at North End favorite Neptune Oyster and Todd English's Olives. (One could have imagined him returning to that Charlestown restaurant, which is still working to reopen after a May 2010 fire, but it appears that's not to be.) The restaurant is named for one of Boston's Harbor Islands, often spelled Nixes Mate.

Humans were expert deep-sea fishermen as far back as 42,000 years ago, hauling in tuna, sharks and barracudas, new research suggests. Fish appeared in the human diet about 1.9 million years ago. Early catchers waded into freshwater lakes and streams without the need for boats or complex tools. It wasn't until later that humans decided to ply the ocean in search of fish. The latest evidence comes from an excavation on the southeast Asian island of East Timor where remains of tuna and other deep-water fish were uncovered inside a cave.

On the big screen in the dark movie theater, sharp knives glide through crimson tuna as classical music plays. An elderly man prepares pieces of sushi so beautiful the audience sighs. "Jiro Dreams of Sushi," currently in theaters, documents the life and work of Japanese sushi master Jiro Ono. This is sushi in its highest incarnation, a traditional Japanese craft. It emphasizes simplicity, purity. There are few ingredients: perfectly made rice, pristine fish, a dab of soy. How did we get from there to the sushi Bostonians commonly eat?

The Wilbur Theatre opened itself up on Tuesday night to hundreds of supporters of the local tuna industry, specifically the folks involved with the new National Geographic Channel show "Wicked Tuna.

More than 350 people attended Tuesday's pilot screening and party including chef Paul Wahlberg, who served up Wahlburgers treats during the night; producer Mike Piscitelli; Captain Kevin Leonowert; First...

The fishermen drop their r's, sip on Dunkin' Donuts coffee, and occasionally curse. There's nothing contrived about "Wicked Tuna," a new reality show that follows several fishermen out of Gloucester who spend a season chasing one of the ocean's largest and fastest fish: the bluefin tuna. The 10-part series premieres at 10 p.m. April 1 on the National Geographic Channel. While the format is similar to Discovery Channel's "Deadliest Catch," which follows fishermen chasing Alaskan king crab in the Bering Sea, the pace of "Wicked...

INDIANAPOLIS - The voice on the other end of the phone is gruff and familiar. "Keep me out of this one, will ya?" Bill Parcells says. "Don't stir up any [expletive]. " He is the almighty Tuna and he's up for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Saturday. After rebuilding the Giants, Patriots, Jets, Cowboys, and Dolphins, Parcells, now 70, finally appears to be done with the National Football League. He does a little work for ESPN, goes to the track, and waits for spring training baseball near his home in Jupiter, Fla. He's also the man who knows more about Bill Belichick...

WASHINGTON - Last year's BP oil spill probably won't push the troubled bluefin tuna population in the Gulf of Mexico over the edge as some scientists feared, a federal analysis shows. Of all the potential damage from the 172-million-gallon spill in April 2010, scientists had been most concerned about how it would harm an already overfished species of large tuna. That's because about one-fifth of the spawning habitat where the Gulf's baby tuna were living was coated with oil, according to satellite images.

Serves 4 It's fun to go to a farmers' market - or better yet, grab a basket and head to your own backyard garden - and get what looks good. Later, in the kitchen, see what happens if you toss it all in a bowl and call it supper. To begin, you need something like beans or pasta for substance. Beans are quicker: Open the can, rinse the beans, and they're good to go. Cherry or regular tomatoes are essential for juiciness, cucumber for something crisp, same for celery and sugar snap peas, blanched green beans because they taste so meaty right now, olives for saltiness, fresh herbs for aromatics, and...
