Hi Sukhy
There is a product on the market by the name of Quorn which has been in the UK for over 20 years. It is meat and soy free and provides a plant and vegetable food with high levels of protein and iron.
Hope this helps.
(Just a side note, if you eat seafood you can't really class yourself as a vegetarian. A vegetarian does not eat any kind of meat, including seafood. If you decide to eliminate seafood from your diet, there are many other plant based alternatives to give you those Omega 3s and 6s..but that's probably for another post.)
