Not really into a lot of fake meat, and some of these look like cat food, but I guess if you want to convert a recipe to vegan using tuna, here you go. I would rather use slightly mashed chickpeas seasoned with nori or other seaweed, tbh. Anyone try these?

The concept of vegan tinned fish might sound weird at first, but it’s just another emerging sector of the thriving plant-based meat industry.

    It’s actually pretty good, if expensive. Mostly an itch-scratcher, not something to base your diet around. I’d say stick with other tuna substitutes like chickpeas tho.

      you can still enjoy the taste of meat and eat an ethical diet. same reason people use dildos instead of real penises

      It is a weird concept and I think it pertains to people who have recently transitioned to a vegan lifestyle (nostalgia) or for those that at least still remember what meat and seafood taste like. If you have been a vegan long enough, those taste are fleeting. So, why even concentrate on products that offer those old tastes, especially considering their original source? How about creating new flavors from natural products, that is where I am most interested in. Heck, even a lot of vegan recipes try and mimic or translate into a vegan palate their dead animal counterparts. Lets put those tastes and recipes behind us, and create anew.
