Dutch food brand Schouten is releasing new vegan fish sticks in response to the growing demand for animal-free seafood products brought on in part by the popularity of Netflix documentary
Seaspiracy. The brand’s new wheat- and rice-based vegan fish sticks are meant to be used in the same applications as traditional fish sticks. “We have noticed that the Netflix documentary
Seaspiracy has made a big impression on people and has contributed to a growing awareness of the importance of plant-based alternatives to fish,” Schouten Product Manager Annemiek Vervoort said. “This will further increase the demand for fish substitutes.”
