Fish and seafood are the only kind of commonly consumed animal protein that are still caught in the wild. When we think about plant-based or lab-grown substitutes for animal products, most of the conversation focuses on the environment. For fish, there’s also consideration for the environment impacting the quality of the natural product, with increasing levels of heavy metals and micro plastics.
