This is a market that sells seafood, deli items, wine and baked goods. It's located in Sydney and it's one of the best places to shop for seafood in Sydney. The market is constantly offering deals from Friday 2pm to Sunday 4 pm. There are many different shops where you can buy seafood, deli items, wine and baked goods. The market has a highly respected cooking school where chefs can buy food.
Always come and visit Sydney Fish Market when in town. Amazing selection of the finest fresh fish and shellfish that Australian waters can provide. Lots of the fishmongers sell prepared sushi and sashimi to eat there. So fresh and an incredible selection of all types of seafood. Parking is easy, recommend you get there early. They’re actually holding a new fish market next door, so do pay a visit to the old fish market before it moves. Highly recommended.

My favorite seafood spots in sydney. Good vibes. So enjoy it. Many shops and restaurants to choose. All seafood seem so so fresh and after cook as our order they are all juicy. Sitting outdoors along the bay is good, but need to be careful about the birds a bit. 🕊️ They might be hungry too. Love the 💖 crab and oyster here a lot 👏🏻📣

Interesting visit. Enjoy a meal alongside seagulls while searching for seating. I wouldn't suggest the 4-person lobster platter, as most of the seafood consisted of fried items. However, I would certainly endorse trying the live abalone, which they'll cook for you at AUD15. You can also choose multiple seafood items to be cooked for the same price. The sashimi platter was fresh, and the prawns were notably sizable and of good quality.

It was worth the 30 minutes walk to the Fish Market from where we stayed. The sashimi was fresh and tender. It was the first time I did not fall sick from the raw oyster. Although it can be a little bit pricey, worth a try. We were allowed to buy beer from another stall. The place can get quite crowded during weekend. Might have to spend some time walking around looking for seats. Most people we met there are foreigners.

The last time I visited Sydney Fish Market was at least 15 years ago. I decided to revisit this place during my short trip to Sydney. This place has not changed over the years and it was great to see and taste the fresh seafood. The only thing that has changed is the price, which is expected in the midst of inflation. I ate a lobster tail, scallop mornay, and half a dozen of oyster, all were extremely fresh and delicious. Really happy with the food.

The craziest, biggest seafood market I have ever seen for any seafood lovers. They had everything that is seafood fresh and cooked. Everything was very fresh and delicious and prices were very reasonable. The lobsters and shrimps were also delicious. Some seafood can be picked and cooked on the spot.

As touristy as they come. Still has a certain charm about it. There's some good seafood on offer where you can have a quick meal. We really enjoyed the sushi. Very well prepared. We also thoroughly enjoyed a glass of freshly prepared sugarcane juice. Squeezed fresh right in front of you after you have ordered. Now if only some of the tourist hordes learned some manners.... and yes, if you are brave to sit outside to eat, the birds don't mind their manners either 😉.

Always plenty of parking when we arrive for food. They've also cooked raw food that we picked fresh off the shelf. Parking costs are reasonable. It costs the same as taking public transport, so I'd rather drive.Don't feed the birds.Fried battered Soft shell crabs are $6 eachFried battered large prawns are $2 each. Ordering food fresh and having it cooked is the best way to experience what this place has to offer. The mini Tabasco bottles are nice souvenirs. Avoid food that has been sitting in the windows. Stay away from the clearance food. I will definitely go back.

My first time trying raw fish in any form. Instead of choosing a restaurant I chose Sydney fish market. Amazing experience. Staff at every shop was very supportive and yes they are patient. For sushi, the person from the shop(as there are different shops) helped me with what to try as a first timer.If you want to try raw or cooked seafood for first time with lots of variety, this is the place and then you will fall in love with this place and will come again :)

Large variety of seafood! All needs were met while being at the Fish Market!It is very over priced, however considering their hard work and dedication to get the seafood and the satisfaction we get from the fresh seafood is worth it!We got the jumbo oysters and they were creamy and divine! We also got the cocktailed oysters with caviar and that was the show stopper!There is a selection of cooked seafood such as the cheesy lobster, scallops, etcYou could also choose fresh fruits, we ended up getting the choc dipped strawberries and they were so delicious! They also did choc dipped banana and watermelon!There’s a cafe on site also if you need that coffee fix!Lovely seating area outside, although reading other reviews of lots of seagulls, there really wasn’t! We did go around 9am Sunday for breakfast and it was not busy and a couple of seagulls only! Best time to go in my opinion!Highly recommended when in Sydney!

If you're a seafood lover, it's worth a trip here. It's a decent place to get seafood but don't expect Japan quality.If you want to eat outside, just look out for the bin chickens. It is still hotly debated on whether they're a endangered species or pest. 😂😭

Great seafood spots in Sydney. Plenty shops and restaurants to select from. Every seafood looks incredibly fresh and juicy. It's nice to sit outside by the bay, but you should exercise some caution around the birds. It's a good idea to order takeaway so you can enjoy it at home away from the birds. Though somewhat pricey, it was still worthwhile to try.

This market is not only made for locals, it’s also a great tourist attraction. Great atmosphere, the crowds and the shoutings just reminds you of a proper fish market. The market offers a wide range of seafood that are fresh, caught daily. From personal experience, It is recommended that you arrive early in the morning somewhere around 10-11 if you’re that kind of person who doesn’t like the wait and crowds of people.

Amazing place to get oysters and fresh fish! It was my first time and I thoroughly enjoyed the many options. There were even stores that provided services to cook the seafood to your preference. The lobster roll was really good and flavourful but it can be really filling for its size.

Love this place and normally I would eat a lot of seafood here. Lobsters, big shrimp, scallops, fish 🐟, clams, crayfish all looked so delicious.Inside there is not enough seats, but don’t worry, just take your food and walk outside and there are rows of tables and chairs where you can eat looking at the sea. There are many birds such as local Ibis bird are always around looking for scraps of food.A must visit for whoever visiting Sydney

Love the smell, ambience and the hectic nature of this place.We managed to buy and eat some really good quality of lobster, scallops and salmon from NZ.The staff is friendly and they informed us about the newest catch of the day.Seating area was adequate and they also got an indoor and outdoor seating, but watch for the birds if you seat out side, they sometimes will snatch you food.

Well, this is a fish market, so please do not expect a smell like Prada or Chanel. If you want fresh fish, maybe still alive, or any kind of seafood 🦞 then this is the place for. Dine in with a great choice or take away for a delicious meal at home. I have seen many great cities at the sea but never such a great place. Sydney Fish Market. Don't miss!

I went through the reviews before going to the market and many of them were about prices and crowds. I finally visited this place on a Tuesday early morning (I understand that people who live in Sydney may not be able to do this due to work/school/distance) and it was a pleasant experience. There were few people and shops were just open. All facilities (including toilets) clean and plenty of tables to sit and enjoy your food. Regarding prices, i believe it all depends on what you actually want to eat. For example, I don't buy lobster because I don't like it. However, if you haven't tried it or you want to try it specifically here, then your bill's going to be more expensive. I only bought what I really wanted to eat as for taste and portions. So saying it is expensive or cheap is relative. Ther is a fresh fruit section by the end of the market after all the fish stalks, worth trying The chocolate strawberries! The quality is definitely top, everything is fresh and not smelly. If you are a tourist in Sydney looking for a good, fresh meal, give this place a go!

I recently visited the Sydney Fish Market and had a memorable experience. The outside dining area had a lively vibe, with seagulls, emus, and pelicans adding to the coastal atmosphere. 🐦🦆🦩 However, the construction of the new market was a bit distracting and took away from the otherwise pleasant scene. 🚧Now let's talk about the food—it was simply tremendous! 🦀🦞 I indulged in a huge king crab, mussels, and various shellfish that were incredibly fresh and flavorful. The sashimi of salmon and scallops were a highlight and absolutely delicious. 🍣 The addition of burnt ends meats complemented the meal perfectly. 🥩 Don't forget to bring your own wines, as whites pair exceptionally well with seafood. 🍷One thing to be aware of during your visit is the birds—they love to join in on the dining experience uninvited! 🕊️ Be prepared to shoo them away. Overall, Sydney Fish Market offers a fantastic selection of seafood dishes in a vibrant atmosphere. Just be mindful of the feathered friends looking to share your meal!

As an Asian migrant, fish market is a to go place whenever we are craving for seafood. Yes it's quite pricy, but it's better than buying frozen off the big supermarkets. We recently bought Octopus Takoyaki and damn they tasted good! Be ware not to consume instantly because your tongue will be begging for mercy!

A lot of varieties of fresh sea food! I recommend you to stay and eat inside the building, otherwise you’ll have to fight the birds who try to take your food.Price is a bit high, but that’s reasonable enough for seafood. Everything is delicious except for the garlic lobster who I bought at one of the first stores near the entrance. The lobster was too dry and tasteless.

A nice place to visit if visiting Sydney or if you've been here for a while.Good place to get fresh fish and some good foods to eat.My friend I didn't go with complained we didn't get any fresh meat(fish/sashimi) when we're in a place to eat such kind of things. So make sure to grab some of those while you're there.

The Sydney Fish Market is a must-visit for seafood lovers. As one of the largest working fish markets in the world, it offers an incredible selection of the freshest, highest-quality seafood.We bought most of our cooked food from Peter's stall, including delicious lobsters with noodles in a butter and garlic sauce, grilled octopus, scallops, and sushi. We enjoyed the fresh seafood while taking in the stunning waterfront views.

Sydney Fish Market is definitely an experience! There’s a crazy amount of food available, with so many stalls packed full of fresh seafood. Everything from oysters and prawns to lobsters, crabs, and just about every type of fish you can think of. The quality is great and you can either grab something to take home or have it cooked up right there.I went on a Tuesday, hoping it would be a bit quieter, but it was still super busy - seems like it’s always packed no matter the day. If you don’t mind the crowds, it’s an awesome spot for seafood lovers. Just be ready for a bit of a hustle, especially if you want to snag a seat!

If you like being cheek to jowl with hundreds of people, this is the place for you! Having said that, the Fish Market has a great selection of fresh seafood. Prices are ok, but not cheap. Indoor seating was limited, but plenty of outdoor dining spots and the seagulls weren’t a problem. Light rail stop is a short walk from the market. On site parking is expensive. I found the serving staff to be abrupt and not very personable, probably from dealing with huge numbers of tourists.

Great variety of seafood to choose from and a very busy place. Delicious and fresh food. Definitely needs the new relocation as the facilities are very run down and showing its age. Parking can be difficult and finding a seat to eat needs patience. Recommend taking your food to eat across the road at the park.

Sydney Fish Market is a seafood lover's paradise and a must-visit destination for anyone craving the freshest catch of the day. Nestled along the picturesque waterfront, it's not just a marketplace but an experience in itself.One of the highlights of the Sydney Fish Market experience is the opportunity to indulge in delectable seafood delights while basking in the sunshine by the water's edge. With numerous outdoor seating areas, you can savor your meal amidst the bustling atmosphere and enjoy the salty breeze that sweeps in from the harbor.During our visit, we couldn't resist trying some of the market's specialties, and we were blown away by the sushi donut and lobster roll. Bursting with flavor and impeccably prepared, they quickly became our favorites. The sushi donut, a creative twist on traditional sushi, was a delightful fusion of textures and tastes, while the lobster roll was a decadent treat that left us craving more.But the beauty of Sydney Fish Market lies not just in its delicious offerings but also in the vibrant energy that permeates the air, every moment spent here is a feast for the senses.Whether you're a seafood aficionado or simply looking for a memorable culinary experience, Sydney Fish Market delivers on all fronts. So grab a seat, order your favorite dishes, and prepare to embark on a gastronomic journey like no other.

Touristy but actually good food if you like seafood. You choose from the different food stands and can eat it inside though the outside seating was a lot nicer.There's also a stand on the left side of the parking loft. They had the nicest sushi options in my opinion.I really disliked how the live animals are treated here.

Best seafood market in Australia. You get fresh seafood as well as cooked seafood. Best place for a weekend seafood breakfast.There is one cafe located in the market from where you can have coffee and breads. The fresh squeezed mandarin juice from the deli and the seafood breakfast made my day.Best place near city to get some fresh seafood. Easily acce by light rail and car. Plenty of car parking available.

Such a great spot. It’s a hectic but tidy and well organized fish market, although the pricing for seafood is still up there (not exactly a bargain as far as going directly to a fish market goes), it makes for a lovely experience, and you’re guaranteed very fresh and high quality seafood. Ordered several rounds of oysters and sashimi, makes for a good morning/afternoon visit for fresh seafood + bringing over visitors to Sydney.

If you are a seafood lover, this is the place that you should visit. So many different kinds of seafood and the price is not expensive. Just like walking through an indoor seafood supermarket. you can buy anything you like, and they have eating areas for you to sit down and eat. Some seafood are severed fresh, some have been cooked, you can also ask them to cook for you, very flexible. A very good experience at this Fish Market
