These Vegan Seafood Brand Are Changing Compassionate Cuisine In 2025
Mind Blown by The Plant Based Seafood Co
Chesapeake Bay’s Mind Blown is making waves of change in the vegan seafood game. Co-founded by mother-daughter duo Shelly Van Cleve and Monica Talbert, Mind Blown offers a boatload of plant-powered options—including crab cakes, dusted scallops, and crispy, crunchy fried shrimp—that satisfy the cravings of any “seafood” seeker who also wants to protect sealife.
Save Da Sea
Save Da Sea is shaking up the seafood scene with its delicious vegan fish, designed to satisfy cravings while protecting ocean life. Based in Canada, the brand is best known for its smoked salmon made from carrots, which delivers a smoky, silky texture without hurting sensitive fish. With clean ingredients and simple prep, it’s perfect for bagels, sushi, or charcuterie boards. Save Da Sea is on a mission to take fish off plates and leave them in the ocean where they belong.
Gardein
Gardein is a meat-free staple, and their vegan seafood options are nothing short of fin-tastic. Their Golden Fishless Filets have a crispy, pub-style breading and a flaky texture perfect for tacos, sandwiches, or classic fish and chips. They also offer Mini Crabless Cakes, packed with flavor and ready in minutes.
Finneato Fysh Foods
Co-founded in Los Angeles by Zoya Biglary and Alix Traeger, Finneato Fysh Foods took center stage on Shark Tank—and scored a deal—thanks to its craveable, colorful “FYSH”: spicy squeezable tuna made from organic veggies, sea algae, and fermented ingredients. It’s soy-free, gluten-free, flesh-free, and packed with omega-3s, protein, and B12.
Jinka
Jinka is turning heads with its savory, spreadable vegan tuna, perfect for sandwiches, crackers, and wraps. Made from pea protein and infused with bold flavors like Original, Spicy, and Lemon & Dill, it delivers a satisfying umami punch. Their other popular products include crispy calamari bites and crab poppers, ideal as an appetizer or the centerpiece of a vegan seafood-style spread.
Seed to Surf
Seed to Surf is redefining gourmet tinned fish with whole-vegetable vegan products like their Celery Root Smoked Whitefish and Mushroom Snow Crab—perfect for crackers, sandwiches, or fancy snack boards. Their clean-label, allergen-friendly offerings are free of soy, gluten, and additives, seasoned with seaweeds, and preserved using sunflower oil. They bring sustainable, natural flavors of the sea through plants.
Oshi
Startup Oshi creates whole-cut vegan salmon using innovative 3D printing technology that mimics the texture and look of fish without flesh. Their flagship salmon fillets are made from soy, fungi protein, and algae oils, packed with omega-3s and protein, and can be baked or pan-seared—healthy, animal-friendly, sustainable, and delicious!
Cavi-art
Owned by PETA Business Friend Plant Based Foods, Cavi-art beautifully crafts vegan caviar from sustainably harvested seaweed, offering a clean, briny flavor and “pop” texture. Available in vibrant colors like black, orange, wasabi, and ginger, the brand makes a stunning, versatile garnish for sushi, salads, and appetizers.
Go Vegan to Save the Seas
Fish are a vastly diverse array of species, each made up of countless individuals with distinct personalities, intelligence, and sensitivity. Some fish species sing or create artworks to impress potential partners. Some use tools to access food or communicate. Fish, crustaceans, and all sea life feel pain.
The fishing industry kills hundreds of billions of animals worldwide every year—far more than any other industry. Commercial fishing nets drag sensitive, feeling fish from their aquatic homes, crushing them with overwhelming pressure, or causing them to slowly suffocate (often for up to 10 minutes). In addition to “target” fish, many millions of other animals are caught and killed in fishing nets as “bycatch” each year, including 50 million or more sharks and rays, 300,000 whales and dolphins, and 250,000 turtles.
On top of the suffering, commercial fishing causes widespread destruction to ocean ecosystems, damaging habitats like coral reefs and sea floors. If humans don’t take action against the cruel, environmentally devastating fishing industry, there won’t be an ocean left to save.
