The Sea

Over the last thirty years Capo Vaticano has been growing as a tourist resort due to its particularly beautiful coastline.  It is, indeed, the sea which is the greatest attraction for the growing numbers of those who, every year, choose this area to spend their holidays. In the crystal-clear waters shoals of ray’s bream swim undisturbed, shoals of saddled bream and white bream wind their way along the rocky reef, while large mullet hide themselves on the sea-bed. The flora, which is made up of green “posidonie”, is particularly well-developed.  “Spirographi”, “nudibranchi”, “vermocani”. “attinie” and “madreporo” all grow along the walls of the rocks like magnificent flowers.  Crinoids dance above the black and white sea-urchins and the deep red starfish break the monotony of the colour of the granite rock.

Fishing

Fishing is one of the activities which has long been practised in the Commune of Ricadi by the maritime population.  The fishermen lived in the village of  Santa Maria. The fishing is carried out by “bolentino” and hauling.  Among the most popular fish are “Surici”, also called pecten in Puglia and Liguria and “pecorelle” in Campania (part of the wrasse family).  They are brightly coloured and the white flesh is extremely tasty;  they are normally fried.  They live on the sandy  sea-bed at a variable depth which can reach thirty metres and are fished with three to four tiny hooks and a plummet weighing about 80 grams.  The best period for fishing “Surici”  is late summer to early autumn.  It is impossible to fish them at night because they bury themselves under the sand to sleep.  They can bite as they are unhooked from the bait. Other types of fish which are caught in this way are “tracina” or “pesce ragno” which can also be found while fishing for “surici”.
