Seven-Member Board Expected to Enhance Decision-Making Efficiency

GAITHERSBURG, MD -- (Marketwire) -- 10/28/08 -- Edgewater Foods International, Inc. (OTCBB: EDWT), the first fully integrated shellfish producer with the largest private marine research hatchery in Canada, announced today that Javier Idrovo, a former executive of the multinational Dole Food Company, has been elected a director of the Company.

Additional board changes announced include the resignations of Ian Fraser, chairman of the compensation committee, and Robert Rooks, who both served on the board for three years. The three changes were effective September 8, 2008.

As a result, Edgewater Foods has compressed its board to a total of seven directors to become a more efficient and responsive unit. At the same time, the board gains substantial food industry experience in the person of Mr. Idrovo to help the Company produce and market new products as well as grow its ongoing businesses within current markets.

Mr. Idrovo has been involved in the food industry since 2001 when he became vice president of strategy for Dole Food Company, the world's largest producer and marketer of fresh fruit and vegetables. In 2004, he was promoted to senior vice president of strategy. In 2005, he became Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Dole Packaged Foods, an operating division of Dole Food Company, and a year later, was named President of Dole Packaged Foods, a position he held until March 2008. Prior to joining the Dole Food Company, he was a management consultant with The Boston Consulting Group, Inc., holding positions of increased responsibility. He received both a Bachelor of Science Degree and Master of Engineering Degree from Harvey Mudd College and a M.B.A. Degree from Harvard Business School.

Commenting on the director changes, Robert Saunders, Chairman and CEO, Edgewater Foods International, said, "Javier Idrovo is an outstanding addition to the board. He brings extensive consumer marketing and branding experience in the food industry to our board, which will become increasingly important as we market and distribute our shellfish products on a wider scale both nationally and internationally."

Mr. Saunders continued, "Ian Fraser and Robert Rooks have made many meaningful contributions to the board over the past three years. Their sound business judgment and experience have brought a valuable prospective to the board and we thank them for their dedication and service to Edgewater Foods."
