Scaling up seafood, from cell to fillet

Reel Foods is developing a breakthrough structuring platform to create whole-cut, cultivated fish at scale and under budget.

Reel’s species-agnostic platform produces fillets identical to wild-caught or farm-raised fish without plant-based scaffolding or processed additives.

Even better, our cell growth is efficient and cost-effective, meaning more fish with less capital.

Molding

Reel Foods cultivation starts from the source. We use a small amount of living cells, harvested just once from wild-caught fish, to prime our fillet molds.

Vascularization

We introduce a vascular network, much like our circulatory system, to transport nutrients and oxygen to the cells, and clear waste from the system.

Growth

We nourish the cells to help them grow efficiently. Like many living things, these cells thrive on protein, sugar, fat, salt, iron, and zinc.
‍

Expansion

The cells begin to mature and arrange into a cell-driven structure, replicating the coveted taste and texture of wild-caught fish.

Product

This process yields clean, minimally-processed whole-cut fish fillets that deliver the identical components and mouthfeel as wild-caught.

Making it better
than the real thing.

Consumers want clean, sustainable seafood they can feel good about eating.

We’re serving up healthier, more eco-friendly fish with a proprietary process that’s primed to scale.

All
meat,
full
stop.

We use a cell-based approach, which drives the authentic taste and texture of our fish. This can’t be matched by competitors relying on plant-based or hybrid structuring.

Cost-effective production.

We’re able to scalably grow and maximize volume from every cell, so we can deliver premium, whole cuts of fish with lower overall manufacturing costs.

Designed
to scale.

Legacy pharma production needed modernizing. Our fit-for-purpose process has been intentionally designed to match the efficiency needs of cultivated meat with room for growth.
