Some of the vegan proteins these days are amazing. I've had homemade vegan lasagna that has blown me away. Also pasta sauce with vegan italian sausage that is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. So good!
Fish... well.... There's no replacing fish.
Thing is, it doesn't have to be black and white. Eating 1/4 your meals as vegan is better than never. Being pescetarian is better than eating all animal proteins. Or even being "vegan plus bacon". Anything is better than nothing. For the environment, your health, and for animal welfare.
"Pure" vegans who say otherwise should pick their battles better.
I eat most of the time vegetables or product that have vegetables as base and most of the other times is vegetables + animal products, i think i do better than most people in this regards but tbh, i don't really like the concept of "vegan alternatives" because they just don't taste the same or are so processed to taste like the original that the benefit is pratically lost;
Original vegetarian/vegan stuff is just better or at least stuff that don't try to imitate the taste
