The short answer is no, vegans can't eat traditional fish and chips.

Just like my Vegan Fish Sticks and Tuna Sandwiches, this Beer Battered Vegan Fried Fish tastes even better than the real thing. Perfect if you've been missing classic fish and chips! The flaky “fish” in this recipe is made from a savory mix of hearts of palm, Old Bay seasoning, and nori sheets.

Some of the most common ingredients that can make potato chips non-vegan include dairy products like milk, cheese, cream, and buttermilk. You should also be on the lookout for “Natural Flavors,” which may or may not be made using animal products.

Chick-fil-A Waffle Potato Fries

(The Waffle Potato Chips are vegan-friendly too, in case those are more your speed.)

It's a largely plant-based diet of whole grains, nuts, legumes, produce and healthy fats, with seafood playing a key role as a main protein source. Many pescatarians also eat dairy and eggs.

Seaweed and Kelp.

Which kind of seaweed should you use? Wakame seaweed (or undaria) or dulse seaweed are both good options for this recipe (I use wakame). I also use dashima or dried kelp to intensify the fishy flavor of this vegan fish sauce.

Milk or Dairy: Some flavored potato chips may contain milk powder, cheese powder, or other dairy derivatives. These ingredients are not vegan-friendly and should be avoided.
