This talk explores how marine foods (once central to human evolution) represent one of the most nutrient-dense and underutilized resources in the modern American diet. Drawing on science, sourcing, and real-world supply chains, Clark reframes seafood as humanity’s original “super-nutrient,” rich in bioavailable protein, omega-3s, and critical micronutrients. He will frame how better aquaculture, transparency, and consumer education can restore marine nutrition as a cornerstone of human health.
Event Takaways
1. Reframe seafood as foundational nutrition: Understand why marine foods played a central role in human evolution and how omega-3s play a critical role in longevity and cognitive performance
2. Evaluate quality and sourcing: Learn how to distinguish high-quality seafood; wild vs. farmed, regenerative aquaculture practices, and what testing (e.g., mercury, contaminants) actually matters for health.
3. Tips and tricks of an online fishmonger: how to incorporate seafood into a modern diet. What to buy, how often to eat it, and how to balance nutrition, cost, and sustainability.
Getting To Know Clark
Clark Kissiah is the COO of Seatopia, a direct-to-consumer marine nutrition brand focused on regenerative aquaculture, transparency, and third-party lab testing. He leads operations, global supply chain, and farm partnerships, with a focus on scaling demand for best in class, truly scaleable seafood. Prior to Seatopia, Clark was a line cook at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, where he developed a deep appreciation for the inextricable relationship between environment, flavor, and nutrition. Clark holds a BA from Claremont McKenna College and is a board member at the Global Mangrove Project.
