Labor day Holiday I went to the Beach.
Is fall in Brazil and the temperatura is very pleasant.
We had a high Tide and a ocean storm last week so I can't fishing from the Beach.
I decided go to the fish market and find good stuffs.
I found BACUCU, bacucu is a mussel that grows in the mangrove inside the mud.
It's smaller than the ocean mussel and the taste is a bit stronger.
Beautiful oysters.
White Shrimps.
The fishermans can catch tree specimens of shrimp here.
The 7 barbas shrimp, white shrimp and pistol shrimp.
I prefer the white shrimp it have a sweet taste.
My family don't like raw oysters...
So I made with a bechamel sauce and gratin in the oven
The bacucu I made a tipical caiçara (brazilian native shore comunities) recipe.
Arroz lambe-lambe our lick-lick rice.
The tradicional way you have to cook the mussel with the rice and lick the shells when you eat.
And the shrimps was a fried with garlic
