There's a number of pictures of the final sushi product.. but I couldn't find pictures of the actual salmon that was created in the laboratory or pictures/explanations of the lab process.

#12What are their methods? Does this make $100/lb salmon?
"The sample of salmon cells served up in Portland cost $200 per sushi roll (six pieces)."

#13Boy I really wish I knew more about the science here.
I can't tell if it's yucky, so they don't discuss it, or if it's vapor, so they don't discuss it.
That said, their photo looks like something I would at least taste! Matrix-grown meat seems to me like something that will have its place in the world, especially if the net environmental impact is favorable.
So, Wild Type: more details, yo.

#14looks like another Beyond Meat style pump & dump
Wait, Beyond meat is one of the main meat substitutes making the rounds alongside Impossible burgers, right? If I'm not mixing up my names, what makes it a pump and dump?

#15The possibilities with this are so exciting, as someone who eats a vegetarian diet due to environmental and moral concerns with the meat industry.
It appears on their website that this is real & ready to sell. I thought large-scale lab-grown meat was still 10-20 years in the future... Does anyone know the pricing? I didn’t see anything on their website, but I feel like it must be expensive.
Also, did they pick salmon because it’s easier than other meat types for some reason?

#17No mention of the nutritional value. Which is my concern with Beyond Meat as well. It's great that it's not meat from factory farming POV, but it's not nutritious food either.
Re: Wildtype: Sushi-grade salmon grown from Pacific Salmon cells
#18"sushi-grade" sounds like "fantastic" or any other not leverageable marketing promise. The cells I suppose must be stem cells, induced with some solution to grow into a homogenous mass of soft tissue. I'm very confused about this. Why just gimme the nutrient solution.
Sushi-grade isn't a thing! It's marketing. I also doubt this follows the FDA rules for flash freezing that sushi grade implies given the lack of risk for parasites.

It seems like the discourse has shifted to describe even legitimate businesses that are overvalued in the opinion of an author as "pump and dump" or "ponzi scheme"
