Bayou Best Foods nets plant-based seafood peer BettaF!sh

US plant-based seafood company Bayou Best Foods has acquired German peer BettaF!sh. Bayou Best Foods, founded in 2024, sells plant-based shrimp to US restaurants.

BettaF!sh products are sold through retailers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. In a statement, Bayou Best Foods pointed to the companies' "complementary strengths" in innovation and distribution.

Bayou Best Foods CEO Kelli Wilson said: "We share the same belief that seafood should be delicious, accessible, and sustainable, and we see enormous potential in what we can build together." Once the deal is completed, there are plans to take each other's products into their respective markets. Wilson told Just Food she is aiming to launch Bayou Best Foods' plant-based shrimp in Europe in the third quarter.

BettaF!sh sells seaweed-based products including Tu-Nah, a tuna alternative, and Sal-Nom, a salmon substitute. The products are slated for the US market in the first half of next year.

Deniz Ficicioglu, BettaF!sh's founder and CEO, added: "This is a natural next chapter for BettaF!sh.

By joining forces, we can move faster, reach more customers, and help shape the future of seafood together." Both companies rely on contract manufacturers. Last week, Livekindly Collective bought Germany-based plant-based food manufacturer Greenforce Future Food.

Greenforce is led by CEO Thomas Isermann and markets plant-based meat, egg and cheese alternatives. Last month, Schouten Europe snapped up fellow Dutch meat- and seafood-alternatives producer Bobeldijk Food Group. Family-owned Schouten Europe said it acquired Bobeldijk Food Group to boost its production capacity and "strengthen" its position in the region.
