World's 10 Best Seafood Alternatives 2023

There's no denying it - even if you are not vegan, ocean pollution caused by the fishing industry or scandals of heavy metals contamination have probably given you plenty of reasons to rethink our consumption of fish and shellfish.
‍
However, there's good news on the horizon. We are lucky enough to live in a vibrant era of innovation. Chefs & scientists are developing new vegan products everyday to bring the very flavour of the ocean to your plate. Find out which products were awarded by our community.

We promise: nothing fishy here, just pure culinary magic.

#1 Vuna

Garden Gourmet 🇮🇱

"This stuff smells and tastes exactly like tuna. I am seriously mind blown. I decided to cook it in a classic pasta with onions, which was something I always used to make before going vegan for a lazy but delicious lunch, and this tasted exactly the same. Just WOW!" @asiayportia

#2 Future Tuna

Future Farm 🇧🇷

"Absolutely fantastic.Taste and texture are incredible and this product is perfect in sandwiches, salads and as a pizza topping." @gaia-andhercats

#3 12 Bastoncini Vegetali

Findus 🇸🇪

"They are so reminiscent of the originals, perhaps the secret is in the yummy breadcrumbs! Baked in the oven, ready in about ten minutes, they are crispy on the outside but the inside remains very soft." @aleglass

#4 Revo Salmon

Revo Foods 🇦🇹

"Finally! This is the best salmon substitute I tried so far 😍 Highly recommended 👍🏼 The consistency and taste is perfect. Even Ingrid—my cat—almost fell for it 🤗" @julyn

#5 Golden Fishless Filets

Gardein 🇨🇦

"Finally got to try these after seeing all the reviews on here. I must say it really lives up to the expectation! Now don’t get me wrong, it doesn’t taste like it’s from a chippy but it’s still really good and it’s got a little bit of that flavour!" @jashment

#6 Filetti alla Marinara Vegetali

Vivera 🇳🇱

"Quite good! The flavor is very reminiscent of that of breaded and fried fish fillet but with an extra touch given by the marinade. For me, the ideal is to accompany it with a salad and veg tartar sauce." @mari99

#7 Filetes Merluza

Heura 🇪🇸

"Astonishing good. Flavor and smell a merluza filet. They use algae oil and has more protein and less fat than an original fish filet. We fried it and used tartar cream (vegan) and lime drops on it. Also the package is made to minimize CO2 footprint. Recommend." @manobispo

#8 AlternaSea

LiVeg 🇮🇹

"As soon as I saw this pack I thought someone had put real shrimp in the vegan section, but instead they are 100% plant-based! They are great and allowed me to eat again a dish from my childhood, zucchini and shrimp pasta, which I really hadn't eaten in many, many years." @isabmarr

#9 Crispy Lemon Shrimpz

Vegan Zeastar 🇳🇱

"I really did not want to like them because they are so expensive but OMG they are heavenly. Super crispy crust and buttery soft filling. Not the strongest fish flavor but I prefer it that way. The lemon complements it so well. I am obsessed. 🍤 Very excited to try their range of products. 🌊" @trixi

#10 Iscas de Peixe

Seara 🇧🇷

"Yet another delight from Seara. Even though the brand is not vegan, the vegan product line is absolutely INCREDIBLE. Wonderful textures and flavors. Unfortunately they are still high priced products." @crisfroio
