Koralo to Launch New F!sh in More Restaurants in Seoul Following 5,000L Production Milestone

German B2B alternative seafood startup Koralo has achieved a milestone in the production of its mycelium-based fish fillet called ‘New F!sh’, reaching 5,000 L of production in Seoul. The company's patented co-fermentation biomass process utilizes microalgae to feed mycelium, creating fish-like tasting and nutrient-rich alternatives that emit less CO2 and use less water than plant proteins. New F!sh is rich in omega-3, complete protein, probiotics, and vitamins B2 and B12, and has a texture that mimics fish when cooked in various ways.

Koralo, founded in 2022 by Sina Albanese in Munich, is focusing on the South Korean market for now, where it has already launched its flagship fish fillet. The company's efficient scaling of local production allows it to supply clean-label fish fillets to more restaurants and food service distributors in Seoul. South Korea's growing interest in alternative proteins and seafood options has created opportunities for companies like Koralo to provide sustainable and affordable seafood alternatives to consumers in the region.
