Volcano Roll
Baked Spicy Crab and Scallop Topping Over a California Roll
About Volcano Roll
Named for its erupting appearance, the Volcano Roll starts with a California Roll base and is crowned with a baked spicy crab and scallop mixture that bubbles and melts in the oven. The warm, creamy, slightly spicy topping over cool sushi rice creates an irresistible temperature and flavor contrast that makes this one of our most addictive rolls.
