Clam Jammers
Experience a more unique kick to crab cakes. Accenting the crab with a fresh, summery seasoning, these lightly-breaded cakes are the perfect blend of textures that will satisfy your craving. Add on the clam shack’s chipotle remoulade for a pleasingly spicy twist. 294 Great Island Road, Narragansett. 783-9600.

The Mermaid Café
These crab cakes offer nothing less than pure shredded crabmeat with a hint of sweetness. Pair the patties with Mermaid Cafe’s dill-packed tartar sauce to experience a flavorful balance for those warm New England summer nights. 19 Margin Street, Westerly. 637-4225.

Duffy’s Tavern
Build up your appetite for this hearty goodness. Made with a stuffing base, these cakes are for those who prefer crab chunks over shredded crab. Oh, and we must add: they are so big, you may have to get a to-go box (and maybe some extra tartar sauce, too!) 235 Tower Hill Road, North Kingstown. 295-0073.

1149
1149’s crab cake is a wonderful seafood delicacy. This big crab cake comes chock-full of shredded crab, accompanied with a veggie flavor-combo of peppers, onions and celery. Dip it in their spci remoulade for a unique, zesty kick. 1149 Division Street, Warwick. 884-1149.

Nothing accents a New England summer better than traditional, tasty seafood. To get in the summer spirit, we sampled a handful of South County’s best crab cakes that not only left us feeling satisfied, but daydreaming about sunscreen and our toes in the sand.
