Heura Foods is expanding its portfolio with the introduction of two plant-based seafood products.

The new F’sh Fillet and F’sh Fingers are both said to be low in saturated fat and rich in protein, while providing 40mg of omega-3 per serving.

The product of more than a year of research and development, the plant-based fillet features a Mediterranean-style batter and juicy texture, while the crunchy F’sh Fingers are “perfect for any sharing occasion”.

Heura has conducted a comparative life cycle assessment for its plant-based fish and claims that the preliminary results show that its fillet and fingers have more than 70% less climate impact than animal fish.

“Science and data have shown us the importance of keeping marine ecosystems intact, and the best way to do so is to reduce human activity to the minimum,” said Heura CEO and co-founder, Marc Coloma.

“As a mission-driven food tech start-up steeped in rich Mediterranean heritage, we recognised the need to introduce fish successors, so people across Europe can continue to enjoy the foods we love, while minimising the negative impact on the planet and animals.

“The launch of our 100% plant-based fish is our latest step towards Heura’s ambition of creating a net-positive food system by accelerating the transition to plant-based protein and offering sought-after foods with a significantly lower CO2 impact that enables a more just food system.”

Heura says that the launch is just the start of its exploration into plant-based fish, with new SKUs expected to be added to the collection next year.
