This is a wierd question, but is there anything I can subsitute for fish that is not in the meat/poultry group.
Fish is meat.I was not aware that Fish was considered to be in the meat or poultry groups. Do you consider Lobster or Crab Meat in that same restriction?
Tofu can take on almost any flavor you want depending on what sauce you fix with it, and if you deep fry tofu for just a few minutes, it has a nice chewy texture that can pass for fish - if you keep your eyes closed.
....being drunk helps
i like tofu when its prepared well....i even make it sometimes...but it doesn't really pass as meat
It is really hard to duplicate the taste of fish. Luckily, I never liked fish, so I've never had the urge to try. I made 'clam' chowder the other day, and just used kombu broth instead of clam juice. Seaweed (nori, kombu, etc) gives you a sea life quality, but it doesn't really taste like fish.LOL - I'm wondering how much a soy bean protein and seaweed product will really taste like fish, too! Maybe it the vegan artificial fish flavoring that does it?
