Cultivated Fish Balls

Umami Meats Creates "Cultivated, Not Caught" Cultivated Fish Ball Laksa

— August 31, 2022 — Lifestyle
Continued research and development is introducing new kinds of cultured meats by the day and Singapore-based Umami Meats recently debuted the first cultivated fish ball laksa. This dish represents Singapore’s rich food culture and it offers a more sustainable alternative made with a blend of "cultivated fish and plant proteins to replicate the mouthfeel and structure of conventional fish balls."

Thanks to its "cultivated, not caught" process that's proprietary and non-GMO, Umami Meats is helping to protect vulnerable fish species that are difficult to farm and threatened by human consumption.

Based on its innovative cultivated fish muscle and fats, Umami Meats will be developing other prototypes and launching them later this year. Umami Meats is working with regulators at the Singapore Food Agency to advance the approval of other meat and seafood made using cell-based technology.
Trend Themes
1. Cultured Meats - Continued research and development is introducing new kinds of cultured meats by the day and offering more sustainable and ethical alternatives to conventional meat production.
2. Cell-based Seafood - Umami Meats is leading the way in the development of cell-based seafood products, which have the potential to address numerous environmental and ethical issues associated with conventional seafood production.
3. Sustainable Proteins - Companies like Umami Meats are paving the way for more sustainable protein sources, which could transform the food industry and create new opportunities for innovation.
Industry Implications
1. Food and Beverage - The food and beverage industry has the potential to benefit greatly from the development of sustainable, cell-based meat and seafood products.
2. Agriculture and Farming - As the demand for sustainable protein sources increases, the agriculture and farming industry will need to adapt and innovate to meet the needs of a changing market.
3. Biotechnology - Advancements in biotechnology are driving the development of new, sustainable proteins and could revolutionize the way we produce food in the future.
