Surf N' Turf Burgers image

These burgers are to die for! We had them down at the shore at the Green Turtle pub. I've been craving them since and this is the duplication I've come up with after some fooling around in the kitchen. Serve with a side of fries, onion rings or potato salad and of course, a dill pickle. You can make the burgers into 1/2 pounders and make 4 large crab cakes, if you desire. As much as I love ketchup on a burger, please, don't do it to this burger!
