Nantucket's commercial scalloping season comes to an end today, and the harvest by island fishermen will top 8,000 bushels for the first time since the 2019-20 season.
Scallopers, along with officials from the Nantucket Shellfish Association and the town's Natural Resources Department, all said they were pleased to see the final number above 8,000 bushels, a small but not insignificant increase over last season's total of 7,329 bushels.
