Do they make artifical seafood from tofu?

Question

It seems to me they could make fake shrimp and crab meat out of it with some flavorings....

Answer 1

Yes, there are several Chinese/Japanese restaurants here in MA (Butterfly in Hadley, Grasshopper in Allston, etc) that offer fake fish. I love the vegan fish sticks at Butterfly, the scallops aren't bad either. So, yes, artificial seafood is available.

Answer 2

I have yet to see it, some of the chinese fermented tofu has go shrimp paste in it, but that is not waht your looking for, with artificial crabmeat and the same in the scallop like material it is a less expensive type of whitefish molded, cooked , purreed and seasoned to look like those products, now you can cook if you not a vegan with a shrimp paste to make it seafood like, but most vegetarians would not even attempt that, sorry, someday.

Answer 3

I made mock tuna salad the other day unintentionally! Here's the recipe:

1 lb. extra firm tofu (NOT silken kind!)

2 celery stalks, finely minced

1 carrot, finely chopped

2 green onions, minced

1-2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 Tbsp. turmeric

2-3 Tbsp. dulse flakes (Maine Coast)

3 Tbsp. Veganaise

Dash of raw apple cider vinegar

Dash of organic maple syrup

Dash of salt or to taste

Mash tofu and mix with remaining ingredients. Spread on lightly toasted sprouted grain bread (Alvarado St. Bakery's the best I've had!) or put on whole grain crackers.

Answer 4

I've not seen it, nor have I seen wheat-based "seafoods." I don't think the texture would come out right.

Answer 5

not sure what its made of but they make Tuno which is mock tuna.

Answer 6

In my area, there are several places that serve mock seafood made of yam starch.  I know there's a company called Worthington that makes canned mock "Skallops," but I'm not sure what they're made of.  You can always Google Worthington and see.

I guess you could use tofu and seaweed to make a mock seafood.

Answer 7

Yes tofu can be made into shrimp, crab cakes, tuna salad, espeicaly fish.
