'Omnifoods,' the Hong Kong-based food innovation company has launched a set of six plant-based fish dishes in Singapore. These dishes include plant-based tuna, crab, whitefish, and crab cakes. The plant-based seafood alternatives have comparable taste, texture, and mouthfeel to the original fish counterparts. In recent years there has been a larger push in Singapore and Hong Kong to create plant-based alternatives to fish.
One of the most commonly consumed foods in Hong Kong and Singapore is seafood. The quantity of fish that are taken from their ocean environments is beginning to affect the aquatic ecosystem in the region. Due to this, consumers have become increasingly more motivated to purchase plant-based and sustainably-sourced alternatives. Omnifoods is attempting to satisfy this demand through each of its ingredients in these new dishes. From the beans to the grains, the ingredients are sustainably-sourced, organic, and plant-based.
