Captain Gummy’s Fish & Chips has been nominated in Australia’s Fish and Chips Awards and the team is ecstatic.

The family run business is all about serving their customers the best food, and this means nothing is frozen. Nothing - from crispy hand-cut potato cakes to fresh meat from the butcher for their mouth-watering kebabs, homemade batter and of course fresh seafood. This point of difference is critical as the team likes to give back and support local suppliers.

Weeks after the announcement the Gavalas family still feel like they’re living a dream. The family of six have been in the fish and chip industry for more than 25 years and it’s been an unbelievable and rewarding experience for the small family business. They are honoured to be nominated and they’d be over the moon if they won – but it’s up to the people.

Anna Gavalas told Frankly Frankston: “Support from the Mornington Peninsula and Frankston locals has been amazing. It’s so much more than we could have imagined. We never experienced it at our other store locations, but the locals really get behind small businesses here.”

And the secret to their crispy chip? Their desire to serve the best possible product to their customers and the many years spent perfecting their supplies, quality and family recipe. Anna’s brother, Andrew, says: “It’s the way we go about things - we pay extra attention to our products because we are a cut about the rest.”
