Fresh scallops are one of the more expensive dishes on the menu of upscale restaurants, where they cost between

Although farmed meat and chicken products have entered the commercial development stage, the technology of farmed fish and seafood is still in its infancy
.
The company said it has developed a new method of using microalgae to help grow the cells needed for scallops, a "circular production method" that will make production and end results cost-effective and highly nutritious, a fish-vegetable symbiosis (a combination of fish and plant production), which the company calls "cell symbiosis," and has filed several patent applications for
it.

between 2017 and 2020.
between 2017 and 2020.
According to a report released in April by the Good Food Institute, at least nine new companies, most of them Israelis, were formed in 2021 to develop farmed and alternative seafood, including Mermade, Wanda Fish, Forsea Foods, Sea2Cell and E-FISHient Protein
