The history of Crab Stuffed Avocado dates back to the 1960s when it gained popularity in California, particularly in coastal regions like San Francisco and Monterey. This dish is a delightful fusion of creamy avocado and succulent crab meat, creating a perfect balance of flavors and textures. Renowned chefs like Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck have contributed to its popularity by featuring it in their restaurants.
