Boldly Foods

Wicked Kitchen has acquired plant-based “raw” seafood provider Current Foods, a transaction that deepens the company’s food service offerings and grows its portfolio of plant-based products following its 2022 acquisition of Good Catch. Exact terms of the non-cash deal were not disclosed.

After announcing the unveiling of the brand earlier this year, Boldly will be formally launching at the National Restaurant Association Show by extending its full range of 100% vegan seafood, the largest in market, for the US foodservice industry.

Glancing at the ingredient deck for plant-based proteins, you’re likely to find some familiar names, but there’s another ingredient that might soon be universal: konjac. The ancient root veggie found its way into alt-seafood despite not offering any protein content itself.
