One of the local culinary highlights of the fall is the eagerly awaited harvesting of Peconic Bay scallops, which begins during the month of November. It coincides a bit this year with Long Island Restaurant Week, which runs from November 4 to 11. The scallop harvest can run until March, depending on conditions, but local lore says that the earlier you sample those bay scallops, the more delicate and tastier they are.
