The next frontier of food.
We are on a mission to reimagine the future of food in order to sustainably and satisfyingly feed the world’s next billion.
In 2019, we set out to make plant-based seafood. After 2 years of R&D, we’ve created something better: seafood that just happens to be made from plants. Forget the “plant-based” qualifier. This is seafood that goes toe-to-toe with the traditional stuff — from taste, texture, and nutritional density — and just so happens to be made from a medley of vegetables. Earthly ingredients meet imaginative food science.
We are bringing the future of food to the present. Our diets, our personal health, and our planet’s health can ride the same current and be better for it.
Currently available in 39 locations, across 13 states.
Welcome to the new school of fish.
