tiger roll

Crunchy seafood sushi

A tiger roll is a type of sushi roll, typically featuring shrimp tempura inside wrapped with thin slices of raw fish—often salmon or tuna—draped over the outside, creating a striped pattern resembling tiger markings.

The name comes from this distinctive appearance: I'll have the tiger roll and a side of edamame.
