James Arthur Smith @ Seatopia Bringing Regenerative Seafood Direct To Consumers
por James Arthur Smith
Listen to the ReGen Brands Podcast Episode #78. On this episode, Kyle and Anthony speak with James Arthur Smith, Founder and CEO of Seatopia. Seatopia is supporting regenerative aquaculture by aggregating, certifying and selling seafood from artisanal, regenerative aquaculture farms. The brand aims to grow consumer demand for farmed fish done the right way and scale a regenerative seafood supply chain that can feed the planet and restore our oceans.
Seatopia is leading the transition to Aquaculture 3.0 by working with artisan farms who practice traceable, sustainable, and regenerative practices. Our farms pride themselves on using clean feed, and clean water which makes for certified clean, delicious, healthy fish. Seatopia fish is rich in nutrients and Omega 3's which are essential components of a healthy diet.
Seatopia is better for you seafood. It's good for you, and good for the ocean. Oceans cover 70% of the earth's surface. The ocean also produces over half of the world's oxygen and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere. Together we are building a regenerative seafood supply chain which is helping to heal the blue planet.
Salmon coated in a lingonberry-Dijon-yogurt sauce that caramelises lightly as it cooks, flaked over loose, craggy potato rösti and finished with quick-pickled cucumber, radish and more of the same sauce spooned over cold. Squeeze the grated potato properly dry — that one step is the difference between crisp strands and a soft pancake. Works in an air fryer or a conventional oven.
Steelhead cut into cubes, tossed with oregano, smoked paprika and garlic powder, and air-fried until the edges go golden — then piled onto warm jasmine rice with arugula, feta, kalamata olives and a green goddess tzatziki that gets its colour and body from a whole avocado blended into the yogurt. Pat the fish properly dry first; that’s the whole trick to the crust. The sauce goes on at the table, not in the basket, so the bites stay crisp.
Shrimp and roasted kabocha in a creamy coconut butter sauce with garam masala, finished with toasted coconut, lime and Fresno chile. Ready in under an hour.
Whole trout roasted on a sheet pan with baby potatoes and blistered grapes, finished with Urfa pepper almond butter. An easy, impressive dinner for two.
Steelhead poached in apple cider with braised leeks and a brown butter tarragon mustard sauce. An elegant, simple fall dinner for two in about 45 minutes.
