I'm not sure if crab cakes are intended to be a summery thing, but being cooked up on the stovetop and eaten atop a big old lettuce leaf, they just work for days like today, when, at least where I live, it's pretty nasty hot and humidoutside.
The protein collects in membrane-less organelles, where it may use its low - complexity domain to stick together, much in the way that water collects into droplets on the outside of a cold soda bottle on a humid summer day.
