Wild Caught

Flake and chips is a Tasmanian classic, up there with curried Scallops for the most ‘Tasmanian’ of ‘Tasmanian foods’. 
Gummy is a species of bottom feeding shark that lives in shallow to medium depths. It gives a fine white fillet with a distinctive red bloodline on the back. When treated properly, the fillets should smell clean and fresh and never like ammonia, as mistreated fish can sometimes smell. It is naturally boneless, which means it's great for kids.
