Moving Mountains Fishless Fingers (as good as the captain’s!)

Moving Mountains is a food brand more known for its vegan burgers and mince. It was founded by a vegetarian entrepreneur who was told by his GP to give up dairy for his health. He got better and now his products are sold nationwide, and widely used in food service.

The brand also makes fishless fingers (and fishless fillets). Both have a flaky texture and wrapped in golden crunchy breadcrumbs. Serve with chips and peas with ketchup, for a delicious treat.

Not real fish, so keep away from dogs and cats!

Why Choose Plant-Based Alternatives to Cod?

We’re not talking here about the lone fisherman who goes out to catch his lunch. But cod is now so over-fished on huge vessels, that it’s now an endangered species. 50% of fish stock(especially cod, haddock and plaice) in England’s waters are below safe biological limits.

Due to shortage of North Atlantic cod, some chip shops sell ‘rock salmon’ or ‘huss’  (which is dogfish – shark). 

Alaskan pollock (the fish in McDonald’s filet-o-fish) is now also in danger. One expert says ‘if you don’t know what the fish in your meal is – it’s likely pollock).

Over-fishing hurts wild stocks, and dolphins, turtles and harmless basking sharks end up as by-catch.

Many people are also worried about mercury and other unwanted chemicals found in cod and pollock. People who eat a lot of ‘predator’ fish could be at risk, which is why NHS recommends caution for pregnancy, children and those with weak immune systems (same with oily fish).
