From a quick look, a company called Wildtype is doing lab-grown salmon: https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/article/S-F-is-getting-the-... (EDIT: article seemed interesting enough I submitted it)

The other reason this is awesome is because domesticated trout/salmon are really sad.

When you catch them they just don't look happy. :-/

The other one I'm aware of is BlueNalu: https://www.bluenalu.com/

Yup - Wildtype is already producing and testing (with famous chefs) great looking salmon. Check out their Instagram for product photos.

Very slightly related, I've spent more time in the forest since ~covid, and even squirrels I found seriously fascinating (they move over branches like superheros in movies) .. i'm kinda "regressing" into animalism.

They may get tame if they get to know you. Then you can feed them (organic of course!) peanuts, which they take out of your hands, or from in between your index finger and thumb. Adorable little critters! Cranberries and Raisins also work and are very enthusiastically enjoyed, but I'm unsure if they are good for them in the long term.

ha, I don't run into them often enough to get their trust, they're still in stealth mode. Except once one of them was so enamored with his freshly found nut that he stood still in the middle of the path just in front of me looking at me like 'what ..'. Another time I came in one's back, sadly by the time I took out my phone I made enough noises for him to climb behind a tree. Most of the time it ends up with me looking up toward leaves trying to follow them as they spider-man in the air so swiftly. (Really there should be a Squirrel-man Marvel movie..)

if one ever gets on me I'll have the hardest time in my life not to bring him home..

It's more like they run into me here, depending on the time of the year even on my balconies, because they like what's in the bird feeders. They are all over around here, though urban, it's at the edge of town, many trees, large gardens, parks, allotment gardens/parcels, and so on.

What kind of behavior?

I presume when you say you're a fisherman, you're doing this professionally, i.e. have a boat and go out to see etc?

If so, what brought you to HN? Are you programming?

Not OP but I was recommended to HN by my brother as an alternative to Reddit, which we've both mostly moved on from. I'm not a programmer in any capacity. I work in chip manufacturing, but on the factory floor. Never completed any formal education past high school. So, very different from most of you guys. I just like reading, and this site is absolutely wonderful for that. I love that comments are highly encouraged to have some "meat" to them. No overused, hacky jokes or quibbling arguments. Anyway, my two cents. Plenty of non programmers in here.

Thanks for that insight.

I was just curious how folks outside of startup & tech find their way to HN.

I haven't got further than high school education either and I'm sure many on here neither.

There is a difference between education and learning.

Seth Godin has a good episode about this on his latest podcast in the QA section.
