Mimic Seafood's plant-based eel alternative
Mimic Seafood is launching a new eggplant-based fish alternative, AubergEel.
The new product targets food service operators and is a substitute for marinated eel in applications like sushi and poké bowls. It can also be used in traditional European seafood restaurants, such as Danish open faced sandwiches or cold cut.
This latest innovation joins Tunato in the Mimic Seafood portfolio.
The Spanish company said AubergEel is 'similar in technology' to Tunato, but with a more complex flavour profile.
The launch coincides with the opening of Mimic Seafood's new large-scale facility in Motril, Spain. This will allow the company to increase production to 'several hundred kilos per day' and 'expand around the European markets at a much faster pace'.
