They do it every year.    The duration, however, varies.    Last year the weather was terrible during the short window.

Restaurant week won't stop me from going this year, but the window's proximity to election day may stop me from sneaking away.

With an Oyster-Ping Divining Device.    You can buy them at most fishing supply places, but you need to call and specifically ask for it.

I think the Garmin unit works better then the HumminBird. Lowrance seems to be the nicest one by far but way to costly for me.

I find them between the rockfish and the shrimp in the supermarket or I ask the kid behind the counter.

but seriously - you find them the same way you find crabs

you ask around, do a search, listen to others, buy the equipment and go out to catch them

then go to the market and buy them
