Crab Roll Kit - 6 Pack

You may have heard of the lobster roll, the sandwich with its roots in New England. The lobster roll has quickly spread around the country to become one of the most prized picnic, holiday and special occasion menu items. Now, we want to introduce you to its sister, the crab roll. In fact, our 6-pack crab roll kit allows you to prepare and serve half a dozen crab rolls. Be sure to set one aside for yourself before they all disappear!

What Is a Crab Roll?

Like a lobster roll, a crab roll is an abundant amount of fresh, juicy crab served on a special type of bun. The bun is sliced from the top, not from the side. This allows all the generous chunks of crab meat to stay in place until you’re ready to devour them bite after bite!

Usually, the crab meat in a crab roll is mixed with mayonnaise. Around here, we prefer Hellman’s for its tangy, true mayo flavor. However, some people like to spread the mayonnaise on the bun instead of combining it with the crab meat. Experiment to find out the best version for your palate and guests.

Ways to Spruce up a Crab Roll

A crab roll is delectable and wonderful served in the traditional fashion. However, if you want to become a crab roll pioneer, why not expand your food prep and serving techniques to add a little pep to this already amazing sandwich? Here are a few ideas:

• Oven toast or grill the bun before serve. Before you pop it in the toaster oven, the regular oven or on the grill, cover the outside with a thin layer of butter or mayonnaise. This will help brown the surface of the bun and extract the sugars from the bread. The taste is out of this world!
• Add some crunchy vegetables to your crab meat and mayo mixture. For instance, diced celery and carrots give any crab roll sandwich extra vibrancy. If you would rather try some more exotic vegetables, chop up water chestnuts and jicama. The flavors and textures go well when paired with crab meat.
• Try spices in your mayonnaise, whether you add it to the crab meat or spread it on the bun. Any herbs or seasonings you love will help you elicit new tastes from the basic mayo. Everything from garlic and pepper to oregano and paprika can work. It’s best to taste test your spicy mayo before adding it to the crab roll, just in case.
