This week I made a tuna and mayonnaise sandwich for lunch. The flaky chunks of tuna looked, smelled and tasted of the sea, but there was no fish involved in it at all. That’s because I made it with imitation tuna designed to mimic the real thing. And it wasn’t half bad at all.
Fake fish has been available for years, of course, but traditionally it has comprised rubbery bits of fish fillet-shaped tofu, or other plant protein, that taste of nothing, let alone seafood. Now, in the wake of surging demand for mock meat, a new wave of imitation fish is being developed, like the tuna in my sandwich, that’s more realistic than ever. Mock prawns, canned and raw tuna, fish fillets, fish fingers, caviar and burgers are moving upstream to our dinner tables – and fast.
