Analysis of Plant-Based Fish Substitutes

Abstract

Jagoda Piatkowska

Fish and seafood are important components of a healthy diet, providing a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and various other essential nutrients. However, overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices have led to declining fish populations in many regions of the world, making it increasingly difficult to meet the growing demand for fish and seafood. As a result, there has been a growing interest in plant-based fish substitutes as a sustainable and ethical alternative. This paper provides an analysis of plant-based fish substitutes, examining their nutritional value, sensory characteristics, environmental impact, and market potential .Fish and seafood are known for their high protein content, as well as their omega-3 fatty acid profile. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that play a crucial role in brain function and cardiovascular health. However, plantbased fish substitutes vary in their nutritional content, with some products being more nutritious than others.
