Fish-Free, Flavour-Full as 3D-Printed Salmon Patties and White Fish Hit Israeli Supermarkets

LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE

Plant-based seafood just swam a little closer to the real thing, minus the gills, guilt, or industrial trawling. In a first for the Israeli market, Steakholder Foods has rolled out its 3D-printed salmon patties and white fish, now sizzling in specialty stores under the Green Future (Atid Yarok) label.

But these aren’t your average mushy soy pucks. They’re the debut retail-ready products whipped up from Steakholder’s proprietary premix platform and cooked into existence by manufacturing partner Bondor Foods, a mainstay in Israel’s alt-protein scene. It’s the first time Steakholder’s fish-free formulas have made the leap from lab bench to fridge shelf.

And they did it fast.

“From first purchase order to full retail rollout in under seven months, this shows what our platform is capable of,” says Arik Kaufman, CEO of Steakholder Foods, who’s clearly not wasting time scaling the seafood-free revolution.

This isn’t just a new product drop. It’s the first full commercial cycle for Steakholder, from powdered premix to packaged product, with revenue flowing at every stage. That’s not just good news for conscious consumers, but a real signal to investors and retailers the next-gen alt-seafood category is no longer experimental. It’s operational.

Behind the launch is Steakholder’s signature tech stack - 3D-printing machines paired with proprietary premixes engineered to mimic the flaky textures of white fish, the juiciness of shrimp, even the bounce of eel, without a single scale in sight. And while these first products are plant-based, the company is already eyeing cultivated cell integration for what’s next.

The Green Future brand may be local for now, but the implications are global. Industrial seafood is facing scrutiny over everything from overfishing to microplastics. Alt-fish done right? It’s a different kettle altogether-cleaner, safer, and infinitely scalable.
