The Plant Based Seafood Co. is thrilled about making delicious seafood alternatives accessible to everyone now, regardless if they are most interested in animal welfare, environmental impact, religious reasons, suffer from shellfish allergies or are trying to introduce more plant-based versions of their favorite foods (flexitarians). They focus on creating 'seafood for everyone'.
