Well, this plant-based salmon could be just the ticket. It’s supposed to not just look, but also cook, taste and even flake just like the real thing.
New School Foods has developed this sustainable salmon alternative that promises to be virtually indistinguishable from the real thing.
The company, which is based in Toronto, Canada, said their team has managed to recreate elements of a salmon filet that include (brace yourselves), ‘aligned muscle fibres, connective tissue, fats, and other components’.
This is owing to their ‘proprietary muscle fibre and scaffolding technologies,’ apparently.
Sounds intense, but food alternatives like this could be game-changers in sustainability, especially with over-fishing causing such havoc with ecosystems worldwide.
But for the moment, this plant-based salmon is only available for chefs to trial as part of their pilot programme.
The fillets can also change from being ‘raw’ to ‘cooked’ in a similar way to actual fish.
They even have the same levels of Omega-3 as wild salmon.
The product will launch in North American eateries later this year, according to the website.
