Plant-Based Fish Products in 2025 – Are We Hitting the Mark?

The report by ProVeg International explores the growing trend of plant-based fish products as global seafood demand shifts due to overfishing and environmental concerns. Consumer interest in fish alternatives is high, with expanding product variety across different regions. While some products closely match conventional fish in terms of protein content and texture, there are areas for improvement, such as micronutrient fortification and omega-3 content.

One nutritional strength of plant-based seafood is its fiber content, making it a source of fiber under EU nutrition claims legislation. The report suggests opportunities for the sector to enhance micronutrient fortification, omega-3 delivery, and front-of-pack labeling to transition plant-based seafood from a niche to a mainstream dietary option. By focusing on public health, environmental sustainability, and improved supply chains, plant-based seafood has the potential to become a better alternative for consumers and the planet.
