The product features a heat and serve profile that's crafted out of pea protein, algae and plant oils that combine to replicate the taste and texture of a fish patty. The patty also features a seaweed blend with chondrus crispus and ascophyllum nodosum with oil extracted from the Schizochytrium sp. microalgae. The patty thus features a fish-inspired flavor with EPA, DHA and omega-3 in the mix. The Ocean Kiss Plant-Based Sea Steak can be prepared in a few minutes and also works as a burger patty option.
