What is the best month to buy scallops?

As a professional in cryptocurrency and finance, I'm typically not asked about seafood purchasing, but I'll give it my best shot. So, I'm curious, what is the best month to buy scallops? Is there a specific season where they are more abundant, and therefore, potentially more affordable? Or is there a time of year when the quality of scallops is particularly high? I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on this topic, as I'm sure there are factors I may not be considering.
