Will “Fishless Fish” Really Be the Next Big Seafood Trend?
Alternative “meats” have been on the rise in recent years. Now, the trend is expanding from the terrestrial to the oceanic. “Fishless fish,” or plant-based fish products, are  all over the world. But with the concomitant  and the increasing trend of buying sustainable protein, will this craze be just a flash in the pan? Let’s examine this new product and all it entails.
#### **What is fishless fish made of?**
Plant-based fish is typically made of an alternative protein. In most cases, producers use rice protein. This creates a flaky, fish-like consistency. In other cases, companies use soy protein with added starch and oil to create more texture. It seems that plant-based fish products have , like those offered by Beyond Burger and Beyond Meat. For those wanting to test the waters of plant-based protein alternatives, this could be a friendlier option.
#### **Is vegan fish healthy?**
Because of the shorter ingredients and fewer chemicals, vegan fish is considered to be safer to eat than many plant-based meat options. Most products are based on pea, rice, and soy proteins and flavored with algae extracts.
#### **Who is making fishless fish?**
Many established meat alternative companies have made forays into the plant-based fish market. This includes Gardein, which has “fishless filets,” and Green Cuisine, which offers plant-based fish sticks. However, there are some newcomers to the space, like BlueNalu and Wildtype, which is financially backed by Leonardo DiCaprio.
#### **Is vegan fish expensive?**
Generally, plant-based fish is cheaper to buy than sustainable and wild-caught options. Shoppers should expect to pay between $4 and $7 for a 2-serving package of vegan fish.
#### **Who wants this?**
Consumer demand for plant-based fish products has been on the rise in recent years. Health concerns and environmental sustainability are the primary drivers of growth. Plus, adding plant-based fish options provides seafood-like foods to those who are sensitive to fish and shellfish.
Additionally, interest in veganism and vegetarianism has grown significantly. A  found that roughly 6 percent of Americans eat no fish or meat – up significantly from prior studies.
#### **What’s the verdict?**
We suspect that “fishless fish” will follow in the footsteps of “meatless meat.” As the public gains more awareness of the product, purchasing will go up. However, we think that these increasing purchases will be a result of novelty, not because it’s a sustainable source of protein. While some vegans and vegetarians may make fishless fish an ongoing part of their diet, most will see it as a fun thing to eat every few months.

# Is Maine Lobster Sustainable? Whole Foods Says No

Is Maine Lobster Sustainable? Whole Foods Says No
In late November 2022, Whole Foods decided to pull Maine lobster from its shelves. The company announced that it will stop selling lobster sourced from the Gulf of Maine. The decision comes after two organizations – the Marine Stewardship Council and the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch – reported concerns about lobster’s sustainability.
In particular, the organizations cited lobster fishing as a potential risk to the North Atlantic right whale, a critically endangered ocean mammal. These whales consistently ****, which can cause death. The MSC and Seafood Watch have cautioned consumers against buying lobster sourced in American and Canadian waters.
Maine political leaders criticized these reports and the Whole Foods decision, citing the financial devastation likely to occur in the fallout. They have also argued that ****.
Governor of Maine Janet Mills wrote in a statement that “there has never been a right whale death attributed to Maine lobster fear.” The lobstering community, she says, has consistently demonstrated their commitment to right whale protection. Lawmakers are appealing the organizations’ decisions to revoke their sustainability labels.
#### **Can You Still Buy Lobster Sustainably?**
What does this mean for shoppers who want to buy sustainable seafood? If you’re still looking forward to live Maine lobster for Christmas Eve dinner, you can certainly still make that purchase. Working with providers who are transparent about sourcing practices can ensure you get a sustainable meal.
For those feeling a bit tricky about the decision, consider buying other lobster products, like tails, claws, and meat. In general, ****, like live lobster.
#### **Where to Buy Maine Lobster in the Meantime**
The Whole Foods decision is likely to cause other grocery chains to pull lobster from their counters. If this happens, shoppers around the country will have trouble sourcing high-quality lobster for holiday meals. To ensure you get the seafood you want, we recommend ordering online. Working directly with a provider, rather than a retailer, will ensure you have your items when you need them.
If you’re looking for reputable providers, we can help. Below is a list of our favorite lobster providers. Consider them for your holiday purchase – whether you want live lobster, tails, meat, or claws.

# What is the Feast of 7 Fishes?

What is the Feast of 7 Fishes?
The Feast of 7 Fishes is a popular Italian American Christmas tradition. This hours-long meal is held every year on Christmas Eve. Known primarily as a Catholic celebration, it is designed to break the Christmas Eve fast and allow people to abstain from other meats, like poultry and red meat, until Christmas Day.
In practice, the Feast of 7 Fishes is exactly what it sounds like: A big meal with seven distinct seafood dishes. While Italian Americans created the tradition, anyone can try it. Interested in cooking up your own Feast of 7 Fishes this year? Read on.
#### **Where Does the Feast of 7 Fishes Come From?**
Historians believe the Feast of 7 Fishes originated in Southern Italy. There, it is known as *La Vigilia*, or The Vigil. The celebration commemorates the midnight birth of the baby Jesus. Catholic parishioners abstained from certain meats during the high holidays. They could not eat animal fat. So, instead, observant Catholics would eat fish, typically fried in oil.
Interestingly, the term *Feast of 7 Fishes* did not originate in Italy itself. Its first-known mention was in a *****.* Some say that the number seven may derive from the ****, or perhaps the seven ****. However, there is no definitive agreement on its meaning.
In the United States, the Feast of 7 Fishes is a highly regional celebration. It is more popular in mid-Atlantic cities like Philadelphia and Baltimore than in Brooklyn. In some communities, serving 12 types of seafood is more common.
#### **Example Feast of 7 Fishes Menu**
While any seven seafoods will suffice, certain Italian dishes are more common than others. Traditional seafoods, including baccalà (dried and salted cod), octopus, clams, salmon, and eel, are common. An example Feast of 7 Fishes menu might include the following:
* **Baccalà**, especially in pastas or salads, but also fried and eaten with dipping sauce
* **Baked casino**, a clam “on the half shell” with bacon and breadcrumbs
* **Octopus salad**, usually with garlic, onion, olives, and lemon
* **Lobsters**, often stuffed and baked
* **Fish balls** made of cod and served in a tomato sauce
* **Seafood pasta,** like shrimp scampi or clam and anchovy linguine
* **Oysters**, either raw, baked, or grilled
Other popular seafoods include fried scallops, fried smelts, fried calamari, fried cod, seafood salad, shrimp cocktail, and fried eel. Basically: If it’s found in the sea, it qualifies for this feast.
#### **How to Host a Feast of 7 Fishes**
Hosting a Feast of 7 Fishes starts, obviously, with great seafood. Because there are so many pieces of the feast, many people choose to order frozen fish online and keep their ingredients frozen until it’s time to cook.
In many cases, buying frozen seafood online is the best way to ensure you have everything you need. Even if you live near a great seafood market, the fish must be purchased on or just before feast day. If there are other Italian Americans in your area, they might also have the same idea. There’s no worse feeling than planning out a huge meal and arriving at the market to see that everything you need is sold out.
If you want to host your own Christmas Eve feast, consider buying your ****, ****, ****, ****, and **** online. If you want to go all out, consider having ****.
Typically, the seven or 12 fish dishes is enough to feed a family – and often enough to create leftovers for several days. Be mindful when storing leftovers. Different seafoods have different shelf lives. Mark all of your leftover containers with an estimated “Best By” date. In general, most seafood dishes won’t last more than a couple of days in the refrigerator.
