BC roll · Vancouver

The BC roll is an inside-out sushi roll of barbecued salmon and cucumber, often with salmon skin in a sweet sauce. Tojo's on West Broadway lists a Great BC Roll on its menu.

Chef Hidekazu Tojo, born in Kagoshima and a Vancouver resident since 1971, is credited with creating the BC roll in 1974, when he used salmon skin in place of anago, which was hard to find on the West Coast. He opened Tojo's in October 1988. He is also often credited with the California roll, a claim Wikipedia notes is disputed. Tojo's own site calls him the creator of the California roll, and its menu lists the Great BC Roll of barbecued salmon skin, cucumber, sesame and scallion.
