The photo on their website looks amazing, with perfect fatty stripes. Photos from one of their early tastings in 2019 didn't look so good. Mostly chopped up, and larger pieces didn't seem to have the fatty layers.

It makes me question if the salmon in the photos on their website is really lab grown. If so, it is quite an achievement.
- michaelmior 6y agoI was thinking the same thing. It's really unclear if the photos are their own product or just supposed to represent good salmon in general.
- saxonww 6y agoI had a different reaction on seeing it. Yes, it has the striped pattern, but the texture looks completely wrong. Compare their image now with e.g. https://i.redd.it/12cdw2wb55p01.jpg https://i.redd.it/12cdw2wb55p01.jpg. It's superficially similar; the 'early tasting' picture you link to looks _better_ from a texture perspective, to me. That doesn't mean it's not tasty, but I would not choose this over the real thing (traditional preparation? idk).
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoCompare crab stick to the real thing. People still eat poor imitations if it tastes good.
- remexre 6y agoHeck, I prefer surimi to crab!
