Bucca

A sea spirit that lives among fishermen, helping them, or plaguing them when not propriated. Originally the bucca was a Celtic sea god who declined to the status of demon or hobgoblin. To stay in the good graces of buccas, fishermen traditionally leave a fish from their catch on the sand. They also toss a piece of bread over their left shoulder and spill a bit of their beer on the ground.
