This is the third and final installment of the special edition Fish Fry historical spotlight. This 1953 photograph depicts one of the games at the beloved event.

The 2nd installment of the Seal Beach Fish Fry historical post: Chef Milani's Special Guest Appearance at the 1953 Fish Fry – Joseph Milani was a prominent radio and television personality in Los Angeles from the 1930s to the 1950s. His notable shows included "Chef Milani" on KFWB, where Johnny Olson served as his announcer, and the "Chef Milani Show" on KCOP-TV. During World War II, Milani oversaw food services at the Hollywood Canteen, a celebrity-run club for servicemen. Milani's appearance at the Fish Fry was arranged through Cole's Market, the original market located at the corner of Main and Central. Cole's was a chain that originated in Long Beach and would soon sell its Seal Beach location to John Nescher, who operated John's Food King for nearly 50 years.

Summer Spotlight 🏖️: Earl Whittington, shown right in this photo from Sept 1941, was a longtime lifeguard at Anaheim Landing beginning in the mid-1930s. After the Landing was closed and purchased for a Navy Base in early 1944, Whittington continued his lifeguard duties at the ocean. Whittington later transitioned to a career in law enforcement before moving to the San Fernando Valley. The accompanying photo shows him in front of the Boathouse, which once stood near the Anaheim Landing Historical Plaque at the end of Electric.
