These 15+ Vegan Fish and Seafood Recipes are Creative, Fun, and Inspiring! You can really make vegetarian: battered fish fillets, fish tacos, lobster rolls, tuna sandwiches, carrot lox, scallops, calamari and even homemade caviar!
I absolutely love cooking fun, creative, and inspiring vegetarian dishes! You can make fish and seafood from a variety of plant-based ingredients, including chickpeas, artichokes, carrots, mushrooms, tofu, banana flowers, palm hearts, and even cauliflower!
Why vegetarian fish and seafood are good options The alternatives to fish from microplastic-laden oceans or fish farmed with antibiotics to survive in overcrowded and highly polluted environments are both dire. And of course, fish feel pain.
More and more people are reducing or eliminating fish products from their diet. It’s great because it’s great for fighting overfishing, polluting the ocean (old fishing nets are one of the main sources of plastic in the ocean) and destroying seabeds (bottom trawling). If you are interested in learning more about this, I can highly recommend the documentary Seaspiracy.
But with all the fantastic vegetarian options, there’s really no need to support the fishing industry.
