Scallop Season
"Who were these mysterious people, who live on this tiny, isolated island, twenty-six miles beyond the farthest reach of the continent, whose small boats dot the harbor on bone chilling winter days, who return wet and cold and triumphant, boxes overflowing with scallops, who then vanish into a landscape of shingles and pine trees and meandering dirt roads as though dream figures?"
Written by Jim Patrick with photographs by Rob Benchley, Scallop Season is a chronicle of the Nantucket scallop industry drawing upon interviews with scallopers, shuckers, fish market owners, wholesalers, wardens and town officials.
