Introduction
There are so many reasons not to eat meat, and the same goes for seafood. Fish are way more intelligent than you think, they do feel pain, and are often caught via painful and sometimes horrific means. Whats more, current fishing rates mean that our ocean ecosystems are in danger of collapse by 2050.
There are lots of mock meat products on the store shelves, but thats not always the case when it comes to sourcing faux-fish and plant-based seafood. The reason for this is because fish has a unique texture and flavor that makes it difficult to imitate.
These 40 fabulous faux-fish and plant-based seafood recipes will show you how King Oyster mushrooms can replace lobster, how to use seafood flakes to add a salty flavor and replicate meaty pan-seared tuna using watermelon.
Better yet, all of these plant-based seafoods and faux-fish recipes can be easily adapted for anyone following a vegan-friendly diet.
As anyone who enjoys plant-based seafood will tell you, there is no need to sacrifice our oceans in the quest for amazing food.

Asparagus and Lobster Mushroom Risotto
If a dish calls for lobster, why not switch to cruelty-free lobster mushrooms? They have a great seafood-like flavor, vibrant color, and pair exceptionally well with rice dishes.
Servings: 4
Total Time: 1hour
Ingredients:
1 pound fresh asparagus
Drizzle of olive oil (as needed)
1 cup lobster mushrooms (coarsely chopped)
4 tbsp butter (divided)
1 cup Arborio rice
2-3 cups vegetable stock
cup Parmesan cheese (freshly and finely grated)
Sea salt (to season)
Directions:
1. Snap the bottoms of the asparagus stalks to find out where the stalk if most tender. Cut the remaining stalks where the asparagus snaps.
2. Arrange on a baking tray and drizzle all over with oil.
3. Bake the asparagus in the oven at 400 degrees F until tender; this will take 15-18 minutes. Remove from the oven and coarsely chop.
4. Add the chopped mushrooms to a small frying pan along with 1 tablespoon of butter. Saut until soft and tender for around 15-20 minutes.
5. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pan.
6. Add the rice to the pan and over moderate heat, stir to toast.
7. One cup at a time, pour in the stock, while frequently stirring until the rice has absorbed the liquid.
8. After around 15-20 minutes, and when the rice is tender, add the remaining butter along with the cheese.
9. Fold in the roasted asparagus and top with the sauted mushrooms.
10. Season the risotto with salt and enjoy.
