Next weekend is Memorial Day – a.k.a. the unofficial commencement of summer – which means that cookout season is upon us. So fire up the grill and slap on a few… crab cake burgers?

Yes.

Seafood is practically its own food group up here in New England, and seafood sandwiches (lobster rolls, crab cake burgers, fish sandwiches) are a favorite summertime lunch.

Sure, beef burgers the popular choice for cookouts, but these crab cake burgers are just as easy to put together and are so much healthier!

Quality lump crabmeat is lightly held together with just a few binders, so the main flavor is sweet juicy crab. A light homemade tartar sauce tops the burgers for the perfect finishing touch.

So why not take a big bite out of summer by celebrating with a few crab cake burgers?!
