Can I make this wrap ahead of time?
Assemble just before serving. The nori will soften and lose crispness if made more than 15–20 minutes ahead, and avocado will brown.
What type of crab meat works best?
Jumbo lump crab meat is ideal for texture and sweetness. Avoid canned crab in brine; use fresh or pasteurized lump meat for best results.
Is this gluten-free?
Yes, if you use tamari or certified gluten-free soy sauce for dipping and verify your sriracha mayo contains no gluten additives.
Can I substitute the nori sheet?
Soy paper or rice paper work as alternatives, though nori provides the most authentic flavor and structural integrity for this wrap.
How do I prevent the avocado from browning?
Slice avocado just before assembly and store any leftover halves pit-side down, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
