    Vegan and vegetarian mermaids

    Hey shouting out to our mer community just like Ariel I love my fish friends. Any vegan and vegetarian mermaids as well who are passionate about the environmental impacts of fish farming or any other animal agriculture? 🦈🦐.

    Vegetarian since '96, vegan with exceptions since 2000. Exceptions being creamer in my coffee, mostly. I'm allergic to the fake stuff and coffee makes my life happy.

    Hey fishes! It's been a while since I've been on here. I've been vegetarian for almost 10 years now. No meat, fish, or eggs. I've also recently gone keto vegetarian, which has been a fun challenge. Anyway, I made MERMAID TOAST! I made a post for it on my blog, so here's the link: Mermaid Toast Blog and Recipe. I made it vegetarian, but you can easily make it vegan if you like.

    Have you tried a good vegan cream cheese? So much of those cheese subs are hit and miss. Follow Your Heart, Tofutti, and Daiya I like in _other_ foods but when you have cream cheese and whatnot...eeewww. I bought once to try as I hadn't tried any after I became vegan and probly won't buy ever again. (But sure beats the literal HELL the dairy industry is for cows)

    Thanks! I should look into the So Delicious. I am allergic to carrageenan and corn, which most soy milks have. I also can't drink most nut milks - too rich on my stomach since I no longer have a gallbladder 😛. I get half and half from a local farm.

    I also eat fish and chips once a year because it's my favorite thing, so I'm not perfect! Working on cutting that down. For me it's about striking a balance between doing what's best for the environment/animals/other humans and what makes your life enjoyable. I find people are more receptive to learning about the lifestyle when they know I don't believe in completely denying a person what they enjoy most.

    Sorry if I sound preachy!

    That said, if anyone knows a vegan creamer that doesn't have carageenan or corn (corn syrup, dextrose, food starch), I'd love to try it!

    Gardein is amazing, although I haven't tried their first stuff. Even before being vegan I didn't eat fish

    Been vegan for a while now. Never really enjoyed the taste of fish, it was always super strong and overpowering in flavor. That's actually what I really enjoy about vegan seafood because they do have the seafood flavor but its much milder.

    I know of a few brands of vegan seafood...

    One of the easiest to find is Gardein.
    They have mini-crabless cakes and golden fish filets.

    • I've only had the filets but they were really good and juicy.
    • Gardein is pretty common, you can find them at Vons, Pavillions, Safeway, Ralphs, King Sooper's, Whole Foods, Sprouts, even Target.






    There's also Sofie's Kitchen which is a vegan brand that focuses only seafood.
    They have tons of stuff; Calamari, Shrimps, Scallops, "Toona", Smoked Salmon, Crab Cakes etc.
    • I've had the breaded shrimp and calamari. Both pretty good and they even replicated the chewiness.
    • I've found them only at places like Whole Foods and Sprouts.





    On the websites, you can out in your zip code to see if a store near you carries their products. You can also order many of these online through sites like Amazon.

    I've also found some cool at home recipes for things like fish sandwiches and fish tacos on youtube, but the following recipe with tomatoes is probably one of my favorite...




    There's also vegan seafood from the following brands,
    • Vegetarian Plus
    • V Bites
    • Just Green
    • May Wah
    • EcoVegan
