Channel: Startup to Storefront
Date: 27/12/2022

Canned Octopus, mussels, and squid.

In Europe, tinned seafood is a delicacy.

But here in North America consumers don’t eat as much canned fish.  As a matter of fact, most people only know of canned tuna, and that’s it.

Scout is a craft seafood company that is bringing this tradition back to the North American table. They can lobster, trout, and mussels and take it from the Startup to Storefront team, it tastes delicious.

Today we are talking with Adam Bent, the co-founder of Scout. We discuss:
-     Why tuna is the #1 canned fish in the United States
-     How kelp became the new kale
-     Why ever major seafood brand is being forced to be changed how they fish
