Use transgenic fish to make bioluminescent sushi rolls
"One of their projects is to make glowing sushi from GloFish, commercially available zebrafish that have been modified with jellyfish and coral genes to make them fluoresce. The center also filmed the Glowing Sushi Cooking Show to teach you how to make your own transgenic sushi, provided you're not afraid of eating genetically modified organisms you bought from a pet store. But they are serious when they call their signature maki the "Not in California" roll. You can't legally purchase GloFish in California. If you're anywhere else in the US, though, you can go to town on raw fluorescent zebrafish."
Yet again, I have grown up and am living in a Bruce Sterling novel.
