Finless Foods

Finless Foods is a biotechnology company founded in March 2017 and is located in San Francisco, California. The company produces cultured in-vitro marine animal food products through combining cellular agriculture and manufacturing technologies. Seafood products produced by Finless Foods are not wild caught, or fish farmed. Their products are grown from living cells extracted from a marine animal of choice. The extracted living cells put into a supportive growth environment and grown to resemble a particular shape such as a fish fillet. The company claims that their products look, taste, and feel like real seafood — on a cellular level their products are real seafood.

CEO of Finless Foods Mike Seldon explains why and how Finless Foods exists.

Finless Foods is working on creating cultured bluefin tuna meat. In September 2017, Finless Foods produced their first pound bluefin tuna meat for approximately $19,000. In December 2017, Finless foods claimed to have reduced their production cost of one pound of bluefin tuna meet in half. The company is hoping to produce cultured bluefin tuna for the same price as bluefin tuna is selling for on the market by the end of 2019.
