You can eat these tasty burgers on buns or just by themselves with a little tartar sauce.
For me, cooking fresh from the ocean is number one. I will go to the place where the shrimp boats and the crab boats come in because I know that these are fresh and local. So that is important to me. There are some things I really won’t purchase. I just won’t do it. Canned fish, fish I don’t know where it’s come from – I just won’t do it. It’s way different, especially for my palette. Canned, packaged, frozen, my choice is always the way I grew up because I’m stuck on the taste that I grew up with, stuck on the Daufuskie way – straight from the land and sea.
