omnifoods fish products

tried @20240831

omnifoods plant based fish products 

these hv been introduced in market for a few years already 

now it's time I finally try it

...

got 3 frozen products to try

they are: classic fillet & golden fillet & ocean fingers

use a water heating method (aka boiling)

...

the classic fillet is alright wif boiling

though much oil releases once dropped into water.. they won't fall apart 

the taste is good.. juz right seasoned n not so salty

n got a flavour quite like fish fillet

the texture is a bit chewy.. not as tender as fish flesh.. but more like minced chicken in my opinion

...

the golden fillet 

the inner flesh.. taste n texture juz exactly the same 

for the batter it's juz melt in water n make the water cloudy 

coz it's designed for deep frying.. using water to heat it up juz make things messy

the case is juz like boiling Japanese tempura.. then the batter fall apart 

...

the ocean fingers

the appearance n aroma is almost the same as typical fish fingers

the batter is of a different style

n yet.. heating it wif water juz same messy like the experience of golden fillet

when the batter melted into water.. will make water flour-y n thus getting sticky on pan

except for the batter part.. the flesh juz got the same taste n texture as the other two products 

n this it's a chewier fish fingers than those I can remember 

...

overall these plant based fish products are fine to try.. but not that great for me to encore 

taste good on its own 

n wif a flavour quite similar to fish fillet 

yet...

the texture is a bit more chewy than expected

n juz not as tender n flakey as those steamed fish I used to hv

moreover.. the battered ones are not convenient to cook (as I usually cook wif water only)

=========================

besides the frozen plant based fish products 

also hv tried the omnituna, a canned plant based tuna flakes 

tried on 20240830.. yet without detailed product pics

...

the flesh is soaked wif much oil in can

once opened 

the colour n outlook n aroma are very similar to that of typical canned tuna 

bite into 

the taste can resemble the real tuna well

for the texture 

its juz a bit more chewy springy than the real tuna in my memory 

n it's not as flakey as typical tuna flakes too

overall

the convenience of the product 

n the great savory fish-like flavour worth me to try it again

but juz that a big drawback is that it's very oily in can
