There's nothing like seafood in summer. Light and fresh with a spritz of lemon juice … that's what we're talking about! We absolutely love Ocean Basket's new summer menu - which focuses on being both healthy and delicious.
But before we dive in, have you taken our
Food and Drink Quiz yet? You can win a R1000 Ocean Basket voucher to use on delicious selections like the below!
Seabream supreme
The star here is their seabream - served whole, grilled or fried. Seabream have a dense, juicy white flesh with a satisfying meaty texture, a clean taste and a delicate flavour, making them the perfect whole fish dish.
Cooking a fish whole is the healthiest way to do it - it limit the loss of Omega-3 fats while retaining the most nutrients. Keeping the body intact holds in the flavour and moisture better. Most importantly, you waste less of the meat.
Their grilled seabream comes with orange and caper sauce, while their fried option comes with a red pepper mayo. And, if you’re really hungry then only the seabream platter for one will suffice – a whole seabream, calamari and five prince prawns. Indulge yourself!

Light treats and sushi
Just feel like a treat or not too hungry? Their new Panko Prawn Cakes consist of juicy prawn meat crumbed in a paprika panko and served with a zesty mayo.
Their sushi platters have new offerings including panko zucchini or prawn, Med salsa and kingklip - all the light summer flavours in a delicious mouthful of sushi rice.

Try the Chef’s Medley - salsa gunkan, kingklip futomaki, panko prawn gunkan and panko zucchini California rolls. Or their Green Supreme veg sushi platter for something completely different - salsa gunkan, avo maki and panko zucchini.
Salads and starters
There are also new salads and starters of offer. Avo and falafel on a bed of greens, roasted chickpeas and feta in a pan, halloumi loaded with Med salsa … flavour explosions.
