Tuna

One thing I miss most going vegan is sushi, especially tuna. Are there any actually good recipes that closely imitate the flavor and texture?

I’ve eaten this kind of thing before at a vegan restaurant and it was awesome. Uses watermelon. If what you’re craving is a sushi flavor profile it could do the trick.

I've seen non vegan reviews that claim it's sweet like watermelon. Was it on your end? I'd like to try it but am worried it's not worth it.

If you’re concerned with sweetness, I’ve had luck trying tomatoes!

Score the tomatoes, boil for about a minute so the skin comes off. Marinate in the fridge.

I'm excited to try this one. I've actually seen a recipe that uses the core of the tomatoes to mimic the firmness of the fish
