Ocean Basket

Separating decent seafood service from excellent seafood service starts with understanding spoilage. Ocean Basket operates in a chain model where consistency matters—frozen vs fresh protocol, handling times, storage temperatures—and what looks good on the plate tells you whether someone's paying attention to those unglamorous details. A competent seafood restaurant tracks turnover, knows its suppliers, understands that a frozen prawns dish prepared properly beats mediocre fresh stock, and has systems that don't fall apart during load shedding interruptions. The difference between an operation worth your money and one that isn't comes down to staff knowledge—does the waiter know what's been in the tank versus what arrived frozen, are portion sizes honest, does the kitchen execute without cutting corners. These are the markers of a venue taking its category seriously in a city where seafood is now commonplace enough to judge.
