Kamiriki searches the lagoon for clams, sea worms, crabs and turtles and he tastes much of his catch right away. A big coconut-crab is caught and cooked in an open fire started without matches. Clams and turtles not only yield meat but also shells which are turned into containers, tools, toys and sometimes jewelry. The meat of the turtle is a great delicacy. (IFF catalog)
