Spider roll

A spider roll is a type of sushi roll. It has deep fried tempura batter covered soft-shell crab, cucumber, avocado, mayonnaise, in nori (seaweed) and rice.^[1] It is a popular sushi roll in North America.^[2]

The roll was created by Hidekazu Tojo at his sushi restaurant in Vancouver, British Columbia.^[3] It is called a spider roll because of the look. When the legs of the crab stick out, it makes it look like a spider.^[4]
