Vegan sushi

Vegan sushi is at the forefront of the alt seafood movement, with fish-free sushi making its way into foodservice channels across the world. In the plant-based sphere, Current Foods – formerly known as Kuleana – makes sushi-grade vegan seafood from ingredients such as radish, peas, bamboo, and algae.

In the precision fermentation field, Aqua Cultured Foods is creating whole muscle sushi-grade fillets and recently announced new advancements in its fermentation technology to double its biomass output. Meanwhile, in the cell cultivated seafood world US-based BlueNalu has partnered with Japan’s largest sushi operator to supply cultured tuna.
