Fish Platters Are the Perfect Treat for Sharing

A meal at a seafood restaurant after a busy day is ideal to relax and unwind, and if you are on a budget, sharing fish platters is a great way to economise. The act of sharing scrumptious platters of prawns, calamari and other marine delicacies is a fun way to enjoy a wide selection of delicious foods in one meal whether it is for a family supper or a couple’s romantic dinner. However, even if you are dining alone, you are likely to find the combination of flavours and textures hard to resist.

Of course, where you choose to enjoy a meal out can make or break your evening, but if you are passionate about seafood and are anywhere near Bromley or Kingston upon Thames, there can be only one choice. For an unforgettable experience and a perfect seafood meal, there is nowhere to match an Ocean Basket – the iconic brand that has redefined the fish restaurant worldwide.

From a tiny 60-square-metre restaurant and seafood deli in South Africa, this tentative venture by a Greek immigrant family has become a global sensation with more than 200 branches in 17 countries. Furthermore, their delicious fish platters are just one of many reasons why 18 million people choose to eat at an Ocean Basket seafood restaurant every year.

Exploring the Ocean Basket’s Fish Platters

Anyone visiting the Bromley or Kingston branch will likely be surprised at the extent of the menu. You can choose from oysters, salads, soup, sides, small plates, individual fish dishes and seafood combos. For a quick lunch, the Fish and Chips with Cape hake or a meal of prawns, chips, salad, rolls and dip is a tasty treat on the lighter side. Look out for the delicious fish burgers, prawn rolls, and spicy Scottish salmon tartare, which have recently been added.

Still, nothing quite beats the fish platters. At Ocean Basket, you can select a Platters for One, starting small with three prince prawns, tender calamari, and Cape hake, and progressing to The Big One, which has four king prawns, calamari and hake for those with a larger appetite. However, if “big” is what you’re looking for, then the platters to share will not disappoint. We offer four options on our menu:

• The Platter for Two: How does twelve prince prawns, six mussels and Cape hake with tender calamari and calamari popcorn sound?
• The Family Platter: Double up on the prince prawns and add four portions of Cape hake to the calamari.
• The Full Deck Platter: This is a large, wholesome meal for several appetites. In addition to the 30 prince prawns, mussels and Cape hake, it has both fried and grilled calamari.
• The Sea Bream platter: In this platter, fish is the star of the show, with two whole sea breams served in a herby lemon sauce and accompanied by ten prince prawns and tender calamari.

A seafood meal is delicious and nutritious, whether enjoyed individually or in mixed fish platters, and there is no better place to dine than in the vibrant Mediterranean atmosphere of an Ocean Basket. Click here to book a table and indulge in an unforgettable seafood meal.
