Time to shell-abrate! Ahead of the summer dining season, PETA is announcing its 2025 Vegan Seafood Rankings—honoring the brands that satisfy the cravings of “seafood” seekers who also want to protect sealife.
PETA’s picks offer a boatload of plant-powered options bursting with flavor—including spicy tuna from Fysh Food in Los Angeles, mouthwatering crab cakes from Mind Blown in Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, andtender yet crispy calamari from Jinka in Burlingame, California.
The winning brands also span the globe—from Cavi-art in Herning, Denmark and Oshi in Rehovot, Israel, to a quartet of winners in Canada, including Save Da Sea in Victoria, British Columbia, Seed to Surf in Toronto, Ontario, and Konscious and Gardein, both located in Richmond, British Columbia.
“From craveable crab-free crab cakes to savory sea-friendly salmon, more food brands than ever are serving up fintastic fare that leaves marine life where they belong, in their ocean homes,” says PETA President Ingrid Newkirk, who went vegan 48 years ago after learning more about lobsters. “Every winner on PETA’s list is enticing diners with innovative vegan products that will have even the pickiest of people clam-oring for more.”
All of PETA’s top picks are available to ship throughout the U.S.
PETA notes that sea animals feel pain, yet fish are gutted on the decks of fishing boats, live lobsters are dropped into boiling water, and crabs are dismembered while still conscious.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to eat”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. PETA’s free vegan starter kit is filled with tips to help anyone looking to make the switch. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
