The present disclosure relates generally to gel compositions that are useful for simulating the texture of certain commonly consumed shellfish products. In some embodiments, the gel compositions are free of any animal-derived, fish-derived, or shellfish-derived ingredients. In general, the gel compositions comprise a gelled polysaccharide, such as a gelled gellan gum. The gel compositions further comprise one or more non-animal proteins, such as proteins derived from plants, algae, or fungi. In some embodiments, the gel composition comprises an insoluble fiber, such as bamboo fiber. In certain aspects, the gel compositions can be used to form vegan replicas of certain fish or shellfish products, such as vegan replicas of salmon meat, shrimp meat, crab meat, squid meat (calamari), octopus meat, lobster meat, and cuttlefish meat.
