crab roll

Crustacean maki piece

A crab roll is a sandwich of crab meat served in a split-top hot dog bun, typically dressed with mayonnaise or butter.

Popular in New England coastal areas, it's the crab equivalent of the lobster roll: We got crab rolls at the seafood shack.

The term can also refer to a sushi roll featuring crab or imitation crab.
