As vegans, we soon notice that we can still enjoy good food, we just have to be a bit more creative. With the right seasonings, you can get any type of dish, even fishy tastes.
This post is going to highlight some of the best vegan-friendly seasonings to capture the sea-like taste you miss.
Nori
The main type of seaweed used for sushi, nori is a great addition to recipes mimicking fish.
Tofish is a great way of using nori for this purpose, mimicking the fishy taste, as well as the texture of crispy fish skin.
Wakame
Commonly used in ramen, wakame is a great seaweed choice for soups and on the side of salads.
If added to a stew, brewed for at least ten minutes and removed before serving, you get a decent fishy taste from it.
Irish moss (seamoss)
Seamoss, when correctly prepared, is a great ingredient to use for fishy meals.
You’d typically prepare seamoss in gel form, and this can provide a great sea-tasting base for a stew, or even in chickpea choona, in place of nori for a more intense fishy flavour.
Bladderwrack powder
Bladderwrack is a powdered form of seaweed, to provide a rich, fishy flavour with just a teaspoon needed. Personally, I think this is the best vegan fish seasoning on the list, it mixes in with sauces and seasonings seamlessly.
A key ingredient in our choona mayo, as well as our veganised clam chowder, this is yet another alkaline-friendly sea-seasoning for the pantry.
