David Protein Is Now Selling Frozen Cod Fillets

Entrepreneur24-07-2025
David Protein is now selling frozen cod fillets. Is it a marketing ploy or the start of a new trend?
Gen Z is obsessed with eating more protein (at least on TikTok), and now brands from Pepsi to Starbucks are adding it to foods and changing packaging to cash in on the trend. Some are even adding a whole new product.
David Protein, which sells a line of popular high-protein snack bars (and claims it has more protein per calorie than any bar on the market), now sells something with even more protein — cod.

After hearing feedback from customers who were trying to avoid processed foods, David Protein CEO and co-founder Peter Rahal told the Wall Street Journal that the company was looking to do "something bold that sparks the conversation" while finding a new product.
Rahal, who previously founded Rxbar, which sold to Kellogg for $600 million, said they found it with cod. The 6-ounce frozen fillets have 23 grams of protein.
David Protein's wild-caught Pacific cod is sourced from a sustainable fishing company, according to the company. It sells in a four-pack for $55 online and is marketed as having "slightly more protein per calorie than a David bar." The fillets need to be boiled before consuming.
Keagan Tigges, chief of staff at David, told National Fisherman that the price "reflects direct, traceable sourcing and peak freshness."

"Most of our customers are in the continental U.S., where high-quality cod is harder to find and often more expensive and expensive to ship from Alaska," Tigges said. "This is a premium, ultra-lean protein source for people serious about building muscle and reducing fat."
How much protein you actually need depends on your weight and lifestyle factors, according to the Mayo Clinic.
On average, protein should account for 10% to 35% of your calories. If taking in 2,000 calories a day, it averages to around 200 to 700 calories from protein, or approximately 50 to 175 grams.

‘I'll Keep My 4Runner:' Expert Says Millionaires Don't Buy Cars. Here's Why—And What They Do Instead

A property investment enthusiast claims that millionaires exclusively lease cars because they're depreciating assets. Abi Hookway ( @abihookwayproperty ) claims that if you're buying a car, you're missing out on building wealth via assets. She breaks down her logic in a viral TikTok that's accrued over 6.8 million views. The clip begins with her standing in front of a parking lot with myriad vehicles before launching into a monologue urging folks to always lease their rides.

This is my staff car park. And I guarantee 90% of the cars in this car park are owned,' she says at the top of her clip. Hookway continues, 'They've been bought with money or loans and they're owned. Millionaires don't do that. Millionaires lease cars. So what millionaires do is they go and they buy assets. Assets that give them passive income.' Lease Cars With Your Investment Capital According to her, appreciating assets will offset the cost of a new car lease. 'And with the passive income they use it to lease a brand new nice car,' she says. 'Why are they leasing instead of buying? Because a car is a depreciating asset—it goes down in value. So why would they invest in something going down in value?' Following this, she explains what the uber-wealthy do for their transportation needs. 'What they do instead is they invest in things going up in value that give them a passive income and lease the car,' Hookway says. 'Say it with me: We lease liabilities, we buy assets.' 'Now rich people won't tell you this stuff because they keep it hidden. But I will,' she says at the end of her video. Never Buy a New Car Trending Now 'Worst Feature Ever:' Houston Woman Buys F-150. Then She Tries to Return it 30 Minutes Later After Discovering Annoying Feature 'I Got Home Around 7pm:' Woman Gets Her Truck Towed. Then She Claims the Tow Truck Company Stole Her Car Outright Other financial analysts do seem to echo some of the points made in Hookway's social media post. CNBC reports that self-made millionaire David Bach said that purchasing a brand new vehicle 'is the single worst financial decision millennials will ever make.' This same logic is echoed by GoBankingRates in a separate article from 2024. The piece touches on the same fundamental downside of car purchasing: depreciation. However, the level of depreciation depends somewhat on how new the car is. For instance, if you buy a car right when it comes out, it can lose as much as 20% of its value within the first 12 months of purchase. And depending on the make and model of the vehicle one buys, depreciation rates can hit as high as 60% after just five years. Bach recommends that those shopping for a new car should consider looking for used models between 3-5 years old. Often, these models will still have some of their original manufacturer's warranty. It's also true that recalls may have already been issued for a vehicle that's been around for a few years. More importantly, however, is that in buying a lightly used car, drivers can bypass eating the cost of its heftiest depreciation years. Lease or Buy? Some financial experts swear by the ' one-percent rule ' when it comes to leasing a vehicle. Basically, this car leasing strategy works as follows: Take the monthly payment then divide it by the total cost of the vehicle, including applicable taxes. If the monthly lease payment is equal to or close to 1% or less of the total cost, it's considered a great lease deal. But there are other factors to consider with leasing a vehicle. First: Mileage. Many leases come with a standard 12,000-mile per year limit, with more miles incurring greater costs. Road warriors may need additional breathing room on their odometers, so this option could end up costing them more money down the road. Moreover, if one purchases a lightly used car from a manufacturer renowned for its reliability, then that could ultimately be a more cost-effective solution. However, others may want to consistently have the newest vehicles with the latest features, so they may prefer a lease. Motor1 has reached out to Hookway via email for further comment.

11 Money Rules To Unlearn and Upgrade To Grow Your Wealth, According to a Gen Z Money Expert

Much of the money advice many people were given growing up doesn't really work anymore. Buying a home in your 20s and marrying rich might've made sense back then, but times have changed. Read More: Find Out: Gen Z finance creator Taylor Price is helping people rethink the old-school money mindset. In one of her recent TikToks, she broke down 11 traditional money rules and replaced them with more realistic strategies for building wealth. Old Rule: Don't Spend More Than You Earn Price's new rule: Don't let your lifestyle inflate with your income. Living within your means is important, but you should also be aware of lifestyle creep. That's when your expenses rise every time your paycheck does. Instead of upgrading your car, apartment or wardrobe every time you get a raise, keep your core expenses the same and funnel the extra money toward investing or saving. Check Out: Old Rule: Save 10% of Your Income Price's new rule: Invest at least 20% of what you earn no matter what. Saving won't get you far if your money is just sitting in a low-interest savings account. Price's advice is to invest at least 20% of your income into something that grows. The average savings account rate is 0.38% as of August 7, 2025, per CNBC, while the stock market has seen an average return of about 10% annually, per Experian. Old Rule: Stick to a Budget Price's new rule: Build a spending plan that supports your goals. Budgets can feel pretty restrictive, whereas a spending plan can feel more empowering and teach you to be intentional with your money. With a spending plan, you can allocate money toward things that actually matter to you, like travel, investing or building a business, while still covering your essentials. Old Rule: Avoid Credit Cards Price's new rule: Utilize credit cards in a responsible way. Credit cards can be beneficial if you actually know how to use them. If you use them correctly, they can help you build credit and earn rewards. Just make sure to pay off your balance in full every month and never spend more than what you can afford. To use credit cards responsibly, Capital One recommended understanding your card's terms, monitoring credit limits and reviewing monthly statements. Old Rule: Buy a Home ASAP Price's new rule: Buy a home only when it adds freedom, not stress. Owning a home used to be the American dream, but it may not make financial sense for everyone. Don't feel pressured to buy if it's going to leave you house poor or lock you into a place you don't love. And how do you know if you're ready to buy a home? Zillow explained that some signs you may be ready include having a stable source of income, good credit and a down payment ready. Old Rule: Cash Is King Price's new rule: Use liquidity as leverage. Liquidity is the ability to convert an asset to cash. When you have liquidity, it means you have access to cash or assets you can easily tap into. This could be money in a high-yield savings account, stocks you can sell, or a brokerage account with exchange-traded funds (ETFs) or mutual funds. Old Rule: Shrink To Fit Your Budget Price's new rule: Design a life that pays you back. Instead of penny-pinching, think about how you can build a life that funds itself so you don't have to keep shrinking your lifestyle to fit your budget. That could mean starting a business, buying an income-producing asset or creating a digital product. The point is to stop thinking only in terms of cutting costs and start thinking about generating income. Old Rule: Marry Someone With Money Price's new rule: Don't wait for a financial savior. This mindset puts your future in someone else's hands. Instead, focus on becoming financially independent and powerful on your own terms. Even if you're married, you'll want to have a solid financial foundation so you can always support yourself if things go south. Old Rule: Pay Off All Debt Before Investing Price's new rule: Learn the difference between debt that's toxic and debt that's strategic. Not all debt needs to be paid off right away. Credit card debt with high interest is definitely a burden and should be tackled as soon as possible. But other types of debt, like student loans or a mortgage with low interest, don't always need to be the top priority. If you can invest and earn a return that's more than you're paying in interest, that money might be better used elsewhere. Old Rule: Keep Money Conversations Private Price's new rule: Talk about money. Being open about things like income, debt, saving and investing creates space to learn, grow and feel more in control. The more we normalize these conversations, the easier it becomes to make confident choices and build real wealth. In fact, as reported by Medium, the odds are better that you'll be more successful with your finances if you get comfortable talking about money. Old Rule: Retire at 65 Price's new rule: Create your own version of financial freedom. Retirement doesn't have to mean waiting until you're 65 to finally enjoy life. Work toward financial independence so you can choose how and when you want to work. That might mean working fewer hours, finding a part-time job doing something you actually enjoy or not having to work at all.
