caterpillar roll

Avocado-wrapped maki

A caterpillar roll is a type of sushi roll designed to resemble a caterpillar.

It typically contains eel and cucumber inside, with thin slices of avocado layered on top to create a segmented, caterpillar-like appearance.

The roll is usually drizzled with eel sauce: I'll have the caterpillar roll and a spicy tuna.
