This recipe can fool anyone into believing that they are actually eating fish. The texture, look and feel of mock soya fish are very similar to that of a fish. It has seaweed which gives it a fishy smell. This is an excellent alternative to fish for someone transitioning to eating vegan. My Nani grew up eating fish and takes pride in her recipes. I was surprised and happy that she praised this mock fish fry and now enjoys having it. So here’s a Nani-approved recipe. Enjoy!
