Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Plant-based fish: No bones or smell
There are various meat alternatives these days, such as soya meat, high-tech meat substitute, and bugs. But what about seafood? Since the demand for seafood has been rapidly increasing globally beyond a sustainable level, actions are needed to curb or control overfishing. Also, contaminants are often found in fish, such as mercury, parasites and particles of plastic.
The most conventional method to catch fish without such worries is to raise live fish in sea-farms, tanks or ponds. The method is quite popular to raise salmon and shrimps. They are basically natural seafood or freshwater fish. Another way is to create artificial fish meat from plants. Just like a meat substitute, this is a seafood substitute. Crab stick is a good example of substituted seafood, but it is mainly made from white fish.
Recently, various sustainable kinds of seafood are created without the catch. Plant-based fish is one of such fish alternatives. For example, tuna substitutes can be created from peas, flower, sunflower oil, and citric acid. You could call it vegan seafood. Another alternative is cell-based substitute. It uses cellular biology to grow fish products in a laboratory like fish fillet. Such lab-produced seafood could be called cultured seafood or slaughter-free seafood.
Someday, “Today’s Catch” may disappear from menus in seafood restaurants. Also, farmers, engineers and factory workers may take place of fishermen.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about sustainable seafood without the catch.
