  Important food for Rama Cay not for the other Ramas because they are found only in the lagoon. It is an important source of income for women because they sell them in Bluefields.
  They are usually eaten in a soup with coconut milk. As with cockle, when the water is deep it is hard and dangerous to pick them because you have to dive and there is more danger of stingrays and sharks.
  A traditional belief is that if a woman has just picked oysters (or cockles) in cold water , she should not nurse her baby because she would give it a cold.
