That's not even the right telling of the myth dumbass. lol
Yes, the harvest still is limited. That's a big part of why "the season" doesn't necessarily extend at a practical level across all of the legally permitted harvest period. And why the early season is when you get the better product, it tends to get snatched up quickly locally, and before things generally peter-out early for that and other reasons.

You fucked up by trying to pretend that you knew something that you clearly don't based solely on what you can Google up. Deal with it.

As above, you're just making it more clear that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Anyone who can't understand that there's a distinction between when something is considered "in season" and the dates of a legally permitted harvest period is a moron. That obviously includes you. Because the season may extend into January/February/March doesn't make any difference when most all of the good product available that year already has been taken, you can't get the boat out, and the temperature is too low to legally fish you fucking idiot. No, people who know what they're talking about generally don't call them "Capes" either. That doesn't include you who did because, yet again, you have no clue what you're talking about. Nor are the legal harvest periods set for "Capes" vs bay scallops. "Capes"
ARE bay scallops. The legal harvest period is set for bay scallops. There is no different legal season for "Capes" vs bay scallops. There are some minor variances for specific locations and areas which are open/closed which may be set locally, but the overall legally permitted harvest period is the same.

Esca itself wasn't particularly significant. And then you do the usual stupid cherry-picking of the worst review that you can find complaining about the entry and the pasta? lmao You'll find the same reviews for virtually any restaurant. It's a 3-star restaurant within the NYT's 4-star system of which there are very few of either to begin with.
It just happens to be where Dave is chef. Dave generally doesn't do the heavy sauces, but since he specifically suggests just the opposite in the case of bay scallops, that should tell you something. Independent of how best he may personally believe that they are prepared, since you're an "expert" in the restaurant industry, you should understand that Dave can't really slap 6 scallops cooked very simply on a plate and charge people $80 for them Manhattan or not. Dave's opinion was the same that I expressed long before I Googled up his opinion, unlike you whose sole source of knowledge is Google. Even more funny, Dave used the exact same "horsepower" example that you had earlier to make you look even more stupid. lmao Dave was selected by the James Beard Foundation as Best Chef in NYC. Dave's opinion >> Your opinion. Dave wins.
Would you like for me to Google up some more opinions by other top chefs and natives who know what they're doing saying the same who can join in bitch-slapping you? There's really no shortage.

Fried scallops can be very good. But you don't waste the good ones when they come in season like that. That's for the frozen commodity stuff. You know... like the kind those that you had.
