World's First Lab-Grown Sushi Bar Opening in San Francisco

San Francisco-based aquaculture startup Wildtype plans to serve slaughter-free, sushi-grade salmon at the world's first lab-grown sushi bar. The start-up company will use a small number of fish cells to develop nearly 200,000 pounds of lab-grown fish per year. By duplicating the fish cells, researchers at Wildtype discovered a way to produce sushi-grade fish, without having to harvest it from the over-fished oceans. The sushi bar will be located directly next to the company's production facility and will include an education center with a glass door between the production and tasting room.
