Officers of the New York Department of Environmental Conservation were deployed to Little Neck Bay on the evening of May 30. Their investigation led to one arrest for harvesting shellfish in uncertified waters.
The Economic Conservation Officers seized harvesting tools, buckets and bags, as well as six bushels containing about 1,100 oysters that were eventually returned to the bay, the DEC said.
Officers charged one male suspect with misdemeanor illegal commercialization and placing rakes in uncertified waters, as well as harvesting shellfish in uncertified waters, according to the department’s office of media relations. The office would not release the offender’s name.

Where do you think that's going? The same place as the dandelions harvested from Kissena! Flooshing!
Well, shellfish are not kosher!
I wonder if these people are catching shellfish for their own consumption and sustenance and not selling them. A lot of these barsteraunts that these big spending transient new yorkers go to have afternoon special deals on oysters.
Look out. That shell fish might wind up in a Flushing restaurant.
Oysters in LNB? News to me, and I've been fishing and collecting bait there since 1967.Mussels and "steamer"/"piss" clams, sure...
I'm going kosher! Actually, no one should ever eat uncooked meat or fish. They are full of parasites and bacteria.
Piss clams oreganato.....yummy!
