Crafting a Vegan F*sh Filet Style Sandwich

For the past few years, our friend Turnip Vegan has been inspiring us with his passion for creating exciting, healthy, and beautifully crafted vegan food. For our most recent collaboration, he made this F*sh Filet Style Sandwich from scratch using freshly harvested lion's mane mushrooms that he grew with our Lion's Mane ‘Spray & Grow’ Kit.

The Versatility of Lion's Mane Mushrooms

"The experience of growing, harvesting, and making a recipe from scratch is rewarding and fun," says Turnip Vegan. "Lion's Mane is versatile, and you will be surprised by the dishes you can make. This sandwich has all the flavors of a fish sandwich, with the flavors from old bay seasoning and seaweed. I found some delicious vegan brioche bread and made fresh homemade tartar sauce to make this sandwich perfect."
