Shiok Meats is our homegrown company developing cultured seafood products and has raised about USD$30 million in investment funding since its inception three years ago. The opening of this mini R&D plant is a significant milestone for Shiok Meats as it expands its R&D efforts and validates its unique cellular agriculture technology for the production of cultured shrimp, crab and lobster…….I congratulate Shiok Meats for the inauguration of its Mini Plant. I look forward to Shiok Meats’ expansion of its R&D efforts at the new plant and your cultured shrimp, crab, and lobster in the market.”
