About Us

A New Source of Seafood

Seafood Without the Sea

Our Challenge

The Potential of Cellular Agriculture

Demand for seafood is increasing dramatically, compounded by a growing global population. Yet wild sources are already hitting a breaking point. With so much new demand, we need new tools to sustainably meet the food security challenges of this century.

By growing seafood directly from cells, we no longer have to rely only on wild or farmed fish. What’s more, we have the opportunity to keep what we love about seafood, but reduce our exposure to common contaminants we'd rather avoid.

Our Crew
