The ISH Food Company

PO Box 15, Rockland, Delaware, 19732, United States

Overview

ISH Company develops plant-based seafood products using a “whole system approach” that screens each ingredient against peer-reviewed science to prioritize nutrition and avoid additives like methyl cellulose. The company formulates products from natural ingredients such as coconut and algae and has identified more than 25 different textures to better mimic traditional seafood. Its current market SKUs include Shrimpish and Shrimpish Crumbles, launched in early 2022, and the company reports it is already generating revenue (no specifics disclosed). ISH has a pipeline of more than 25 products in development, including salmon, cod, crab, lobster alternatives and a forthcoming plant-based scallops product. It is B Corp–certified and has a commercial partnership with Thai Union to distribute products to restaurants, colleges and universities across the U.S. and in Europe. The company is focused on commercialization, market development in Europe (and inquiries from Asia), and achieving cost‑effective manufacturing with positive gross margins while expanding its product portfolio.
