The two best sources of B12 by far are clams and liver which contain 60 times more vitamin B12 than beef and over 100 times more than eggs.

Plant Sources of B12: A Dangerous Myth

Green algae like spirulina, fermented soy products, and brewer’s yeast are purported to be plant sources of vitamin B12.
But, in reality, these plant foods contain B12 analogs which are similar to, but not the same as, vitamin B12.
