You can use clams instead, just make sure you don't over cook it.

Live In Portugal. Cataplana is disappearing from the restaurant menue these days. What a delight to cook this recipe. Brought back wonderful memories. My Portuguese friends loved it also. I am going g to try some of the other recipes in this section. Well done.
