With marine biodiversity in decline, project teams are exploring uncharted waters to find new (and tasty solutions) for sustainable seafood. For vegan startup Current Foods, it was about creating a faux fish that “tastes great and is also great for the world,” says CEO Jacek Prus.
It took two years, but the company eventually delivered its flagship product: a vegan, sushi-grade tuna worthy of restaurant menus. 🍣 The big challenge? Unlike popular plant-based beef products, it’s typically eaten raw—so the texture would be the make-or-break element of product development.
“We had to find the right ingredients and develop a process that would give it the right chew and fishy taste,” says Prus. “The process was incredibly finicky, so we had to become really good at rapid iteration.”
The secret ingredient? Upskilling. The whole team was put through a sensory bootcamp.
