Yummy yummy yummy!!! I wish i had space for more in my stomach! I wanted to eat a few dishes from each stall. In the end, I settled for a seafood paltter for two at AUD19.90 and it was awesome. My salivary glands were kicked into overdrive the moment the cook passed me my oh, so full seafood platter. It... More

I brought my family to the fish market. The first bad experience was the bloody car park. it costs about $6 per hour. So we parked in the carpark for 1 hour. I thought we would have a tremendous experience, but nah... way too small, too simple and very boring. The food there is super expensive. We finished our exploration... More

Australia enjoys a dizzying variety of fish and seafood so far as I, a simple European, can discern. The fish is always served fresh and with world class chips. We, the Brits, invented Fish 'n Chips, pal. But Australia has taken this food to new heights, dimensions beyond those in dear ole Blighty! So, don't get me wrong, I love... More

it has beautiful view. The seafood is fresh and you'd better to eat the labster spegetti or noodles. But be caution of the seagull. They are very anony. and will break over your plate if you sit outside. More

Went to the famous fish market by the hop on hop off bus tour. This is the place for fish lovers, what a variety of fish. This is the second biggest fish market in the world. This is a must see for anyone travelling to Sydney. We had lunch there, never tasted fish that fresh before, it was excellent. More

The Sydney Fish Market is known to be a place for lovers of seafood to find delicious and fresh seafood. Admittedly, I am not someone who crave for seafood all the time. Then again, I must say the seafood from the Sydney Fish Market is fresh and delicious. My interest is to learn about what goes on behind the scenes... More

Stayed in Sydney for two nights and visited the fish market twice!!!!! the sashimi fantastic, the lobster devine, the oysters glorious, need I say more? This place can be so busy during lunch times that you need to have a keen eye to get a seat.... If you do get a seat, watch out for those greedy seagulls. They will... More

As a local, I love heading to the fish market for some fresh sashimi at cost price, grabbing a bottle of white wine and making a picnic on the outdoor terrace. The seagulls make it a fun experience but cause minimal nuisance. The deep friend offerings are fairly average so stick to the fresh produce. The markets are set for... More

I have been to the Fish Market many a times. The last time I was in the fish market was with a couple of friends from Malaysia. Its a short walk from the Maritime Museum, other Harborside side of Darling Harbor. The faster you walk, the shorter the walk. And to get there, follow the smell!! We had fresh sashimi... More

This was just awesome. I wish I had not just had lunch before I came here! I was so mad at myself. This is the neatest experience and they will cook about anything for you. The sushi and sashimi also looked great. I was so full that I only got a little seasoned octopus but I would have loved to... More
