Plant-based fish alternatives made from European seaweed.
BettaF!sh is the first company to develop 100% plant-based fish alternatives primarily created with seaweed from Europe. Their flagship products include TU-NAH, a plant-based alternative to canned tuna, and SAL-NOM, a hot smoked salmon alternative, both made from European seaweed and plant proteins from fava beans and peas.
The company was founded with ocean conservation as their top priority, building an entirely new industry of impact-enhanced foods based on seaweed. Their mission is to revolutionize the world of food through the power of seaweed, allowing people to continue enjoying their favorite seafood guilt-free while supporting sustainable alternatives to fishing.
BettaF!sh matters because they're addressing overfishing and ocean degradation by providing sustainable alternatives that taste authentically like the ocean. Their use of seaweed cultivation offers coastal communities new income opportunities while supporting marine biodiversity, and their products help spare fish populations while avoiding harmful bycatch that typically occurs in traditional fishing operations.
BettaF!sh creates impact by replacing traditional fishing with seaweed cultivation, which is a zero-input crop that requires only sunshine and seawater to grow without farmland, pesticides, fertilizer or fresh water. Their business model provides fishing communities with alternative, more sustainable business opportunities while their seaweed farmers actively put more seaweed in the ocean rather than taking fish out of it.
This approach directly spares fish populations from being caught while avoiding bycatch of dolphins, turtles and other marine species. Additionally, seaweed cultivation actively sequesters CO2, converts it into oxygen, and provides nutrient-rich environments and habitats for marine life, contributing to healthier coastal regions that help mitigate climate change.
191 tons of tuna fish spared, 194 tons of bycatch avoided, 16 tons of seaweed used to make their seafood alternatives
