The award celebrates the UK's best independent fish and chip restaurants and focuses on every aspect of running a fish and chip business including the premises, product, staff, customer service and commitment to responsible sourcing.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the awards, making the event even more special and each category all the more coveted.
Rockfish owner Mitch Tonks (pictured above) said of the nomination: "We're pleased to be nominated, of course, as the judges are the top of the tree when it comes to fish and chips.
"They know good fish and chips when they taste it and I'm glad they think that's what we serve at Rockfish. We maintain high standards right across the board 365 days a year, so getting some recognition for that is a nice feeling."
Rockfish have entered the awards every year since opening in 2009 and have been shortlisted each time. They made the final of the Best Newcomer Award category in 2009 and in 2010. Mitch employs 25 staff for his 65 seater restaurant.
Paul Williams, CEO of Seafish, said: "This award recognises restaurants who are committed to excellence in all aspects and the judge is determined to pick a worthy winner.
"The judging criteria is diverse with responsible sourcing, customer service and staff training procedures among the areas assessed. The three finalists must ensure they excel in every area of their business to stand a chance of winning."
