Spider Roll

Spider rolls are made with tempura soft-shell crab — fully cooked! This makes them a safe and delicious sushi option while breastfeeding.

Spider rolls feature deep-fried soft-shell crab, which is cooked through the tempura process. Crab is a low-mercury shellfish and a good source of protein and zinc. The tempura coating adds some sodium and calories, but this is a perfectly fine breastfeeding-friendly sushi choice.
