Montauk is the perfect place for food lovers to indulge in perfectly cooked seafood, and, even better, it’s local and as fresh as it gets. To prove this is true, the Montauk Friends of Erin and the Kiwanis Club of East Hampton are presenting a shellfish feast, complete with the Hamptons’ best restaurants, caterers and vendors during their second annual Montauk Seafood Festival.
