• Following the lead of their brethren in Plymouth, the folks who settled the East End gave turkey no more than equal billing at a Thanksgiving pageant cast with plenty of game, duck, and even lobster, supporting players that seldom get much credit these days.

Our culinary experts, Alison Boyd and William Sertl, are planning to give turkey the bird this Thanksgiving, preparing a feast that instead features local black sea bass. Read their recipes online here.
