Good Catch Launches First-to-Market Plant-Based Salmon Burgers

Good Catch, which is owned by Gathered Foods, is releasing plant-based salmon burgers through a new partnership with UNFI, one of North America’s largest distributors.

According to Good Catch, 30% of American seafood consumers purchase salmon each month, and it currently ranks as the most widely eaten fish in the US. 

Good Catch says the new salmon burgers are the first such item produced entirely within the US. The product offers a realistic, flaky texture and mild salmon-like flavor seasoned with citrus juice. Each burger contains 16 grams of protein, is simple to prepare, and lacks any unappealing “fishy” smell once cooked.

The burgers will be available through a new partnership with United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), the largest natural grocery wholesale distributor in North America.  The products can also be purchased online through the company’s e-commerce platform, shop.goodcatchfoods.com.

Co-founded by top plant-based chef Chad Sarno, Good Catch describes its products as  “culinary-driven” innovations, and salmon burgers are the latest example of the brand’s relentless work to transform plant-based seafood.
