BlueNalu Yellowtail Might Be Your First Lab-Grown Meat
Sure, you've read about the Lab-Grown Burger Just $345K, the Most Expensive Burger Ever Made? and even a Bloody Rare Vegan Burger. But your first real lab-grown meat might just be fish - BlueNalu Yellowtail, in fact.
A San Diego foodtech startup has grown fillets of yellowtail fish entirely from cells, making the local company one of the most scientifically advanced in the world of lab-grown seafood.The startup, called BlueNalu, is less than 2 years old and yet it has hit a scientific milestone many researchers only dream of. In front of a small crowd gathered at San Diego Bay last week, the startup’s chef prepared the lab-created yellowtail fish in a variety of ways, from fish tacos and poke to seafood bisque.
For those unfamiliar with cell-based seafood products, they are made of real fish meat and fat — or what we call “fillets” — grown through cell cultures in a food manufacturing facility...
“Our medallions of yellowtail can be cooked via direct heat, steamed or even fried in oil; can be marinated in an acidified solution for applications like poke, ceviche, and kimchi, or can be prepared in the raw state,” said BlueNalu’s CEO Lou Cooperhouse in a statement. “This is an enormous accomplishment and we don’t believe that any other company worldwide has been able to demonstrate this level of product performance in a whole-muscle seafood product thus far.”
In his excellent 1969 novel Whipping Star, Frank Herbert wrote about pseudoflesh, meat protein that was produced apart from an animal:
"Where would they get a real steer?""There are some around for story props in the various entertainment media, that sort of thing. A few of the outback planets where they haven't the technology for pseudoflesh still raise cattle for food."

H. Beam Piper's 1962 novel The Space Vikings made use of carniculture vats:
Every Viking ship had its own carniculture vats, but men tired of carniculture meat, and fresh meat was always in demand.
