We all love a good deep fried hake and slap chips. The general rule of thumb is that if it’s wrapped in newspaper and dripping with grease its the real deal. But times they are a-changing folks!

That’s right, fish and chips are getting a facelift to nip and tuck the age-old Friday favourite into something even you health fanatics will crave. Think fresh, grilled seafood and crunchy salads – here’s your chance to go low carb and high protein ala Tim Noakes without sacrificing on taste. In the most trending areas these healthy hotspots are popping up like daisies.

The next time you have a lunch-time craving for your favourite fish you have 2 options: 1) take a half-day off and mission for 30 minutes to Hout Bay to enjoy what was previously known as the best Fish & Chip location in Cape Town or, 2) if your boss still thinks Fridays are for productivity grab a mid-day meal from Ocean Jewels at The Woodstock Exchange. They are fresh and super delicious and if you ask nicely they might just deliver to your door. Take your fish-and-chips fetish to the next level and check out their menu here or visit them for a weekend taster at their stall at The Old Biscuit Mill!
