Etymology
The word carrapateira comes from carrapa (half-beetle), because the indigenous tribes used it for eating, skinning and throwing it around. It was then translated to Portuguese: cassimete (to boil) and served to the local tribes. The fish oil extracted from carp is widely used in the food industry. Crabs are widely collected in the region. Fish is also a major source of food.
