Vegan sushi

Vegan sushi is at the forefront of the alternative seafood movement, with fish-free sushi making its way into foodservice channels around the world. In the plant-based space, Current Foods — formerly known as Kuleana — makes sushi-grade vegan seafood from ingredients like radish, peas, bamboo and seaweed.

In the field of precision fermentation, Aqua Cultured Foods produces sushi-grade whole muscle fillets and recently announced new advances in its fermentation technology to double its biomass production. In the world of cell-cultured seafood, US-based BlueNalu has partnered with Japan’s largest sushi company to deliver cultured tuna.
