I love foraging and these were just a few little treasures I found on a beautiful stretch of beach at Quinta do Lago (click here). The shells include Scallops, Mussels, Clams and remnants of an earthenware pot called an Alcatruz.
An Alcatruz is a vessel used to capture octupus; the pots (as many as 72) are attached to a main line (linha madre) and anchored to the bottom of the sea, parallel to the shoreline. The pots may be baited with cockles or mussels.
