SUMMER<br />
TASTES<br />
Ocean Basket has added some new dishes to<br />
its menu ... and they’re completely drool-worthy<br />
We must be honest … when we first saw the new additions<br />
to Ocean Basket‘s menu for Summer, we didn’t linger over the<br />
new sticky rice dishes. The falafel starter – yes. Panko zucchini –<br />
absolutely. And as for the salmon salad with avo and feta – our<br />
mouths were already watering! But sticky rice didn’t sound quite<br />
summery. Boy, were we wrong!<br />
From the moment our sticky rice dish landed on our table – served<br />
in one of those traditional Ocean Basket pans – we knew we were<br />
in for a special treat. Think sushi rice with zucchini, tomato and<br />
crispy onion sprinkles. We chose the fish option – which was a<br />
real winner – and you can try this dish with prawns and mussels<br />
or there’s a vegetarian version too. It’s light enough for Summer<br />
and so moreish … we wouldn’t blame you if you found yourself<br />
scraping the pan for the very last morsel of rice. No wonder it’s<br />
named the pick of the season on the menu.<br />
We paired our rice dish with the new salmon salad with avo<br />
and feta which we couldn’t wait to taste … it was scrumptious.<br />
The salmon is lightly seared and pairs beautifully with creamy<br />
avo and a really tasty salad dressing. Sharing the rice dish and<br />
salad between two people is ideal … and a glass of Chardonnay<br />
really tops it off.<br />
The new starters on the menu are definite must-tries.<br />
We’re dreaming of the falafel with tzatziki, and we so<br />
enjoyed dunking the panko zucchini into the<br />
delicious zesty mayo. Also new on the starter<br />
menu is the Ocean’s meze platter which<br />
consists of tzatziki, zesty mayo, feta,<br />
tomato, cucumber, panko zucchini,<br />
falafel, crumbed prawn tails, hake<br />
goujons and paprika whitebait. It<br />
certainly sounds delicious, and we<br />
suspect it’s really good for sharing.<br />
If you’re looking for a real<br />
summery spoil, we suggest<br />
you pop into your local Ocean<br />
Basket … what a treat it is to<br />
dine out again after months of<br />
lockdown restrictions.<br />
