The sea offers more than fish alone. For those seeking a high-quality plant-based seasoning, we work with an ingredient that is just as powerful: seaweed from the Oosterschelde. At Phans, everything revolves around the essence of flavor — and we find it close to home, in the clear waters of Zeeland.

Locally harvested in the Oosterschelde

The foundation of our plant-based products lies in the Oosterschelde. This is where high-quality seaweed grows: Royal Kombu and Wakame. We consciously choose local sourcing. The seaweed is organically cultivated and harvested on site, ensuring short supply chains, full transparency and control over quality.

Seaweed is also one of the most sustainable ingredients available. It grows on the natural minerals in seawater and requires nothing extra. No fresh water, no fertilizers, no farmland.

Plant-based umami without compromise

The biggest challenge in plant-based cooking? Deep, savory umami, the body that makes a dish feel complete. Our seaweed extracts deliver exactly that.

Thanks to the natural richness of Royal Kombu and Wakame, we’ve developed a sauce with the same intensity and complexity as our classic fish sauces. Not a substitute. Not a compromise. A full-fledged seasoning that brings depth to any dish.

How to use our seaweed products?

Our plant-based sauces are versatile. Not just for salt, but to enhance flavors.

• Flavor enhancer
  Add a splash to soups, sauces, or dressings for more layering.
• Direct seasoning
  Use our Vietnamese Plant-based Fish Sauce Dressing for salads, rice dishes, or as a dip.
• Marinade base
  Give vegetables or plant-based proteins a savory foundation before baking or grilling.

Our vision

At Phans, we make no distinction in quality between fish and plant-based. Both must meet our highest culinary standards. With seaweed from the Oosterschelde, we offer a sustainable choice for conscious chefs and home cooks. Without compromising on flavor.

At Phans, you taste the sea. In every form. 🌊
