NEW YORK — Bayou Best Foods has acquired BettaF!sh, a brand of Wunderfish GMbH. Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
Founded and led by Deniz Ficicioglu, BettaF!sh is a Berlin-based company that manufactures such fish alternatives as Tu-Nah and Sal-Mon that are formulated with seaweed for retailers, foodservice operators and consumers.
The acquisition of BettaF!sh grows Bayou Best Foods portfolio beyond plant-based shrimp and soon will be introduced to BettaF!sh’s foodservice partners across Europe.
“Our goal has always been to bring great-tasting, ocean-friendly seafood to more people, and BettaF!sh is exactly the kind of partner that makes that possible,” said Kelli Wilson, chief executive officer of Bayou Best Foods. “We share the same belief that seafood should be delicious, accessible, and sustainable, and we see enormous potential in what we can build together.”
Bayou Best Foods manufactures its plant-based shrimp for foodservice distributors as well as business-to-business distributors.

“This is a natural next chapter for BettaF!sh,” Ficicioglu said. “Both of our companies were built on the belief that protecting the ocean and creating exceptional food should go hand-in-hand. By joining forces, we can move faster, reach more customers, and help shape the future of seafood together.”
