What is in a spider roll?

A spider roll is a type of sushi roll that is typically made using soft-shell crab as the main ingredient. The crab is deep-fried and then rolled together with sushi rice, avocado, cucumber, and sometimes spicy mayo or eel sauce. The roll may also be garnished with tobiko (fish roe) or sesame seeds.

The name "spider roll" is derived from the appearance of the crab legs sticking out of the roll, resembling spider legs. This type of sushi roll is popular in many sushi restaurants and is known for its crispy texture and savory flavor. It can be enjoyed as a standalone dish or as part of a sushi platter.
