Calling Joburg's seafood lovers, Ocean Basket is launching two new seasonings to elevate your meals. 

The seafood restaurant, known for its innovative flavours, has once again spiced up its offering. 

Grace Harding, CEO of Ocean Basket, revealed the news at the 2025 MANCOSA Jacaranda FM Business Breakfast, which was held in Midrand on October 1.

The new flavours are:

Lemon Chilli Salt – a mix of sea salt, chilli pepper, lemon, citric acid, and a touch of anti-caking.

Garlic Salt – a savoury blend of sea salt, garlic, onion, and black pepper.

Whether you’re sprinkling Lemon Chilli Salt over hake or calamari or adding Garlic Salt to fries, salads, or prawns, these new blends promise to elevate every bite.
