i found the crab cakes to be very dry and the mixture was falling apart so i had to add the rest of the egg and then another plus another 2 tbs of water and this helped to keep the shape. The tasted very dry so i must of used the wrong bread crumbs. The sauce was great i added more lime and more chilli
