The West Coast has its own unique cocktail






A visit to what will soon be the biggest aquaculture farm in South Africa was a ‘must’ on the itinerary of visitors Elsa and Brian van der Spuy and Marlene and Jan Beukes. The operations are run by qualified oceanographer Peter Pesch who nurtures his little babies “from sperm to worm” as he wryly puts it.
The cocktail-sized abalone (“perlemoen”) ultimately will find their way to the tables of the great chefs of the world where they will hold their own alongside such delicacies as truffles and caviar.
