More Seafood from
Less Harvest.

The world’s population needs more food – and protein demand is expected to double by 2050. At the same time, up to 70% of the fish we catch globally is wasted or downgraded into low-value by-products (in Sweden, the figure is 83%).

Our patented technology transforms these sidestreams into premium ingredients such as our one-of-a-kind protein mince, marine collagen, and virgin fish oil. The result: more value from every catch, and significantly lower environmental impact.

And it’s not just sustainable - the food tastes great, too.

The idea:
Maximize potential and value.

1. Raw material.

Side streams from the fishing industry - heads, frames, skins, etc. A much underutilized resource.


Minimal climate impact - we upcycle
materials that would otherwise be
discarded or used for low-value products
such as fish meal or biogas.

Today we mainly use Salmon in our
production. However, any species
can, and will, be used as we develop our
method further.

2.Production.

By using pH shift technology, we can perfectly separate protein, fat and bone from each other.


Cold-processing ensures the highest
possible nutritional content and minimal
impact on the beneficial properties of the
products.

The process takes place in proximity
to the raw material to minimize
transport.

Standard, off-the-shelf equipment for
food production is used.

The method is patented.

3.AquaFood products.

Protein mince, virgin fish oil and marine collagen.


Food and ingredients that are used and
needed everywhere.

Food grade or pharmaceutical grade
quality.

Low-cost raw material and efficient
production (three products from one
source) keep prices very
competitive.

The products:
Food, made better.

AquaFood’s innovation is unique – but our products are familiar. We make food and ingredients that are used and valued everywhere. They are 100% pure and natural. Cold processing keeps nutrients and beneficial properties intact.

By turning a single low-cost raw material into three premium products, we keep production efficient and prices highly competitive.

AquaFood Protein Mince.

Like fish mince, but more versatile.

Our Protein Mince is made from salmon*. It resembles traditional fish mince but delivers a smoother, more cohesive texture with consistent quality, functionality and scalability. Completely boneless and skinless, it provides a reliable base for modern food production. Texture and composition can be tailored to suit any application - from burgers, balls and nuggets, to sticks, tacos, gratins and dumplings.

*Additional fish varieties are under development.

Mild taste, many possibilities.

Clean and subtle flavor that adapts easily to different seasonings, cuisines, and product concepts.

Naturally nutritious.

Cold-processing to preserve maximum nutrition. Naturally rich in protein and ideal for balanced diets and health-focused product ranges.

Smart for the planet, smart for business.

We turn side streams into premium protein, producing close to the source to cut transport and reduce climate impact. The result: salmon mince that costs less than conventional salmon mince - with a fraction of the environmental footprint.

In production testing
and industrial scale-up:

These products are based on proven small-scale industrial or lab-scale processes and are currently being developed for large-scale production and commercial launch.

AquaFood
Marine Collagen.

Premium-grade marine collagen, designed to be among the most sustainable and cost-effective options on the market. Highly absorbable and well suited for supplements, functional foods, and medical applications.

AquaFood
Virgin Fish Oil.

Cold-processed and additive-free virgin fish oil, rich in Omega-3 and Vitamin E. Naturally stable and mild, it requires less refining than traditional fish oils and shows no oxidation issues. Ideal for supplements, fortified foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Partner with us.

We are on a mission to make food production more sustainable by scaling our technology worldwide – wherever better use of resources can make a real difference.

If you are an industry leader, food producer, or innovator and see opportunities for collaboration, we’d love to connect. Let’s explore how we can move the food system forward together.

FAQ.

How does AquaFood’s technology work, in simple terms?
AquaFood’s technology is a unique method for transforming complex fish parts into high-quality food ingredients. Through a tightly controlled cold refinement process, a gentle pH adjustment separates proteins and fat from skin, bones, and other solid tissue.
‍
The proteins are then recombined together with an optimal amount of fat depending on the intended application into a clean, functional fish product.
‍
The result is a premium fish ingredient that is 100% bone-free and 99% skin-free, with a mild flavor, strong nutritional value, and versatile functionality suitable for a wide range of dishes and products.
What is AquaFood Protein Mince, and how is it different from traditional fish mince?
AquaFood Protein Mince is made from high-quality meat remaining after filleting, primarily the meat along the backbone and selected trimmings. Today we produce salmon mince, though the method can be applied to any fish species. The product retains similar nutritional value as salmon fillet, including high levels of protein and Omega-3/6.
‍
Unlike conventional mechanically separated fish, which may contain bone fragments, skin, scales, and show variation in texture, color, fat, and protein content, AquaFood Protein Mince offers:
‍
• A milder aroma and taste
• A softer, finer texture
• A lighter color
• Consistent fat and protein levels
• Reliable, uniform quality
‍
Mechanical methods often result in stronger flavor and greater variability. AquaFood’s refining method delivers a cleaner, more consistent product suitable for a broad range of consumers and applications.
‍
It can be used like any other mince shaped into meatballs, burgers, nuggets, patties, tacos, sauces, soups, pâtés, and more.
What does “more seafood from less harvest” mean in practice?
It means producing 30–50% more food from the same amount of harvested fish.
‍
By recovering and refining parts that are often discarded or downgraded, AquaFood enables higher food output without increasing pressure on our planet. This contributes to feeding a growing population, expanding access to healthy seafood, lowering CO₂e emissions compared to many alternative uses of the raw material, and supporting the industry under stricter quota systems – all without increasing pressure on marine ecosystems.
Where does the raw material come from?
We work exclusively with high-quality fish parts left after filleting such as backbones (frames) with remaining meat attached. These parts are nutrient-rich and of excellent quality but are often discarded or used in low-value, non-food applications.
‍
In reality, they contain some of the most flavorful and nutritious meat on the fish. Our process ensures this potential is fully utilized for food.
How scalable is the process – and where are you today?
The process is designed to be highly scalable and adaptable to large volumes with a high degree of automation.
‍
Today, we operate at smaller industrial scale and are preparing to launch our first larger-scale facility, planned for 2027. We work closely with suppliers, partners, and process engineering experts to ensure smooth scale-up and operational robustness.
Can we start working with AquaFood?
Yes!
‍
If you are interested in implementing the method, we are happy to explore how it can integrate into your operations to increase resource efficiency, value creation, and sustainability.
‍
If you are interested in the product, AquaFood Protein Mince is commercially available today. We are actively expanding our customer and partner base and welcome discussions on supply, applications, recipes, and product development.
Can I invest in AquaFood?
AquaFood is privately owned and currently raising capital as part of an ongoing investment round. If you are interested in learning more about the opportunity, we would be pleased to start a conversation.
