An Israeli company says it has 3D-printed the first ever ready-to-cook fish fillet using animal cells grown in a laboratory.

Lab-grown beef and chicken have drawn attention as a way to get around the environmental issues linked to farming. But few companies have explored lab-grown seafood.

Arik Kaufman is the CEO of Steakholder Foods, an Israeli start-up and one of two companies that collaborated on the project, alongside Singapore-based Umami Meats. He told Newsday that the 3D-printed fish has been created 鈥渨ith almost zero emissions鈥� We don鈥檛 harm animals in the process. We believe it鈥檚 the future of food consumption.鈥�
