Bettaf!sh Launches Vegan Tuna With Continente Food Lab in Portugal

Berlin-based food start-up BettaF!sh has launched a new plant-based canned tuna alternative, TU-NAH, in Portugal in partnership with Continente Food Lab. Made from European seaweed, fava beans, and peas, TU-NAH offers a sustainable and vegan option for Portugal's seafood market. Portugal's high seafood consumption, averaging over 10 kg per person annually, presents a significant opportunity for alternative fish products, with the country generating over €1.2 billion in seafood revenue each year.

TU-NAH is designed to replicate the taste and texture of traditional tuna while being free from soy, wheat, and methylcellulose, making it suitable for various dietary needs. The product, rich in fiber and protein, can be consumed straight from the can and used in a variety of dishes, including sandwiches, wraps, salads, and traditional Portuguese dishes like Salada de Atum. BettaF!sh's innovative seaweed-based approach to rethinking seafood aligns with Continente's efforts to offer more sustainable products, with TU-NAH now available at 12 high-traffic Continente stores across the country.
