Spicy Tuna Cakes with SeaQuench Chimichurri

Forget everything you know about Tuna Cakes. These easy to make cakes are packed with protein and full of flavor. For an additional kick, add a dollop of SeaQuench Chimichurri to the top of each cake. We worked with Dogfish Head Craft Brewery to put a new twist on the classic chimichurri sauce and we think you will like how well the two pair together. Dogfish Head will be launching is summer Off-Centered Ale Trails later this month, which inspires consumers to get outside and enjoy some of the most off-centered locations in the world.
