Finless Foods Bluefin Tuna
Sustainable Seafood, Without the Catch
Finless Foods is a food startup working toward a world where everyone has access to healthy, delectable seafood, without the environmental devastation or the health hazards of traditional fishing and aquatic farming. We use cutting-edge cellular-agriculture technologies to grow marine-animal cells, creating fish and seafood products enjoyed around the world. This means the world can enjoy fresh, sustainable seafood at affordable prices, without catching or farming the species on which they’re based. We’re starting by producing bluefin tuna, a fish that has recently been threatened by predatory fishing practices. We plan on easing the strain of wild fishing on bluefin tuna by producing it in a clean, safe way on shore. This will help our ocean ecosystems and provide a luxurious, healthy source of protein for people to enjoy. Our method is simple. Instead of fishing, or harvesting living fish and seafood, we produce the same fresh fish proteins by growing high quality marine animal cell
