About Good Catch Foods
You’re probably curious on how Good Catch Foods can make a plant based, vegan tuna that tastes like the real thing, without harming the fishies to make it. Their tuna is made with a plant protein blend, and is great to use in any traditional tuna recipe, whether melts, sushi rolls, sandwiches, or casseroles.
What’s great about this tuna substitute is that it’s high in protein and omega-3, which means it compares to the nutritional value of real tuna. You get all the health benefits of consuming fish, minus the negative aspects like mercury, dioxins, microfibers, etc. Plus, obviously I love that this tuna is vegan, gluten free, and non-GMO.
What’s amazing is that this plant based tuna tastes just like real seafood. They use a algae oil, and special plant ingredients that capture seafood’s flavor. Combining that with the six-legume blend to get the texture of tuna, you may even be able to trick the fish-lovers in your house. Their legume blend includes chickpeas, soy, peas, lentils, fava and navy beans. Plus, the blend is way easier to digest then consuming a single legume.
Good Catch Foods offers their plant based tuna in three flavors:
Naked in water Mediterranean Oil & herbs
What I’m super excited for is that they’re introducing frozen entrees and appetizers soon too! These will include things like plant based crab cakes, plant based sliders, and more.
The dark side of tuna fishing
Not so shockingly, tuna don’t like to be caught. They are often chased until they move into a tight group and a net catches them. From there, fish are often dragged against rocks and debris, suffocated, and the long list of bad things goes on. That’s also only if they are caught in the ocean, where they live and belong. Farms are becoming more and more popular for the fish market and just by the name, you can tell it’s not a pretty (or humane) sight. The best part of consuming Good Catch Foods tuna alternative is that you’re doing good and not doing any harm to the oceans or fish themselves. You can consume their ocean-friendly products without the guilt!
Vegan tuna melts
This vegan tuna melt recipe is literally like the real thing but BETTER! I’ve spiced up the traditional recipe by adding a few of my favorite ingredients like capers and jalapenos to spice it up and make it more flavorful. The bread I used is dense, and crispy, while the tuna is so soft and gooey from the vegan cheese. Each bite of one of these melts is hands down delicious and it’s quickly become my favorite, quick and easy sandwich.
