Irreplaceable farmed prawn – seafood proteins to grow apace over next decade.

Shiok Meats re-creates ocean smells…

“I could definitely smell and taste the ocean,” she said of the creation.

…and, as anyone with the slightest knowledge about shrimp knows, if you are smelling and tasting the ocean then the product is off and has started bacterial decomposition!

Sounds like lots of firsts here.
