French plant-based seafood brand Ocean Kiss has recently launched a new product called Steak de la mer, a heat-and-serve alternative made from pea protein, algae, and plant oils. The product is designed to replicate the flavor profile of fish in a patty format, using a combination of textured pea protein, rapeseed and linseed oils, rice starch, and konjac flour with marine character derived from a seaweed blend and oil extracted from microalgae. The company emphasizes that the Steak de la mer is high in protein and omega-3, a good source of fiber, and contains no preservatives, making it a healthy and sustainable choice for consumers.

Ocean Kiss positions the new plant-based sea steak as an accessible option for everyday meal occasions, perfect for serving with vegetables or potatoes or even in a burger format. The company, originally founded in 2016 as Odontella and rebranded as Ocean Kiss in 2023, has been focusing on creating plant-based alternatives to seafood. Its flagship product, Solmon, is a smoked salmon alternative made from seaweed and pea protein, catering to consumers looking to vary their meals without relying on animal-based foods.
