NEW YORK, November 3, 2010 - The Board of Directors of Umami Sustainable Seafood Inc. (OTCBB "UMAM")
("The Company") today announced that Baja Aqua Farms ("Baja") of Baja Mexico,
of which the Company owns 33%, has executed sales agreements with Japanese
buyers (including a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlantis Group, the 62%
shareholder of Umami) for a total of $20 million of bluefin tuna, with
delivery to commence in November and to be completed before the end of the
January 2011. The Company recently announced that it exercised an option to
acquire the remaining equity interests in Baja, which, subject to obtaining
sufficient financing, is expected to close on or before November 30, 2010.

In announcing the contract signings, Oli Steindorsson, CEO of the Company
stated: "We are pleased to see that our decision to invest in Baja is already
being validated by these sales agreements, which have been negotiated at
price levels which reflect the high level of demand among Japanese clients
for the type of premium quality bluefin produced by Baja, and are at the
upper end of our forecast range."

Mr. Steindorsson continued: "Harvesting of the fish under contract has
already commenced and will be completed by the end of January. The cash
proceeds from the sales will be used both to supplement Baja's working
capital as well as build additional capacity in Baja to ensure consolidation
of its position as the preeminent bluefin operation in the Americas."

Mr. Steindorsson added: "We are also in process of finalizing our sales
program for our 100% owned subsidiary Kali Tuna, which we expect to be done
within a few months."

Mr. Steindorsson concluded: "Baja and Kali Tuna currently have combined
inventory of over 5,500 metric tons of bluefin. Although we do not expect
them to sell but part of this inventory this year, if they did so, it would
represent a total sales value of approximately $120 million at current
prices. This represents an excellent base to deliver good returns on our
investment as we move further into our first year as a public company."

Background of The Company:

The Company owns and operates Kali Tuna which is an established
Croatian-based aquaculture operation raising Northern Bluefin Tuna in the
Croatian part of the Adriatic Sea. The Company also owns a 33% interest in
Baja and exercised an option to acquire the remaining equity interests in
Baja, which, subject to obtaining sufficient financing, is expected to close
on or before November 30, 2010. The Company intends to become the leader in
the Northern Bluefin Tuna industry by acquisition and internal growth. The
growth of the Company will be founded on the sustainable management of
resources and economically sound practices, seeking opportunities resulting
from market consolidation and scientific progress in the industry.
