Maybe your crab mix is a tad dry? Try adding a dollop of mayo or Dijon for some extra moisture .. and don't overmix everything a gentle fold is key to keep those yummy crab bits happy!

To keep your crab cakes moist, try adding a bit more binding agent like mayonnaise or egg, and be sure not to overmix the ingredients to prevent the crab meat from becoming too compact. Additionally, using fresher crab meat or incorporating some diced vegetables like bell peppers or onions can add moisture and flavor to your crab cakes. Happy cooking!
