Protein Industries Canada (PIC) said a new project will turn prairie crops into seafood alternatives.
Three B.C.-based food companies are involved in the research and development of using peas and canola protein as a substitute for traditional seafood.
PIC chief technical officer Meghan Gervais said the Regina-based company is providing $5.5 million for the $15 million project.
Roughly 20 plant-based seafood alternatives will eventually be available in Canadian grocery store freezers.
