Israeli startup Forsea Foods has reportedly created a working proof-of-concept for the world’s first unagi made from cell-cultured eels, which it plans to release next year. What it's like: The lab-grown eel meat, prepared by vegan restaurant Saido’s executive chef Katsumi Kusumoto, has the same tenderness, texture and flavor as the real seafood, Forsea Foods claimed in a press release on Jan. 22. The company said it does not contain antibiotics, hormones or ocean pollutants.
