We’re beginning with bluefin tuna

More than an icon of the ocean, it’s a symbol of what’s at stake. Revered for its flavor, tradition, and cultural significance, yet increasingly at risk, bluefin demands a new way forward. It’s the pinnacle of taste, artistry, and complexity—now reimagined with the future in mind.

Our Story

A journey of culinary excellence and ocean stewardship

BlueNalu began in Hawaii, inspired by the vast Pacific and its thriving marine life—and a vision for enjoying seafood without taking it from the ocean.

Now rooted in San Diego, where innovation meets tradition, we craft cell-cultivated seafood with care, intention, and respect for the ocean.

Our work reflects a belief that culinary excellence and ocean stewardship can move forward together.

“I have always believed that chefs possess the unique opportunity to create change through food. BlueNalu offers a sustainable solution to a deeply cultural relationship with seafood.”
