Our Reviews

An amazing place to get a variety of seafood from raw to cooked. First up, parking can be a headache. I'd recommend going through the market first before buying from just one place. I found some places were more expensive than others and were selling the same produce. I'd definitely recommend getting sea urchin topped oysters, they're really nice!

Plenty of fresh seafood to choose from! You can pick your seafood from the shops and they’ll cook it for you on the spot, or prepare fresh sashimi slices right in front of you. It’s a great experience for seafood lovers. Just a heads up if you sit outdoors, you’ll likely get swarmed by seagulls, so it’s best to eat indoors or take your food elsewhere.

Had an awesome time at Sydney Fish Market! The seafood was super fresh and tasty — loved the oysters, salmon, scallops, and prawns. The crab legs were amazing too! Great portions, lively vibe, and that fresh coconut drink was the perfect finish. Definitely a must-visit for seafood lovers in Sydney! 🦪🦐🐟🍋

The sashimi at Sydney Fish Market was the best I've ever tasted! There is also a huge variety of other yummy options available. I absolutely recommend this place. A quick tip for a peaceful meal: watch out for the aggressive seagulls outside, as they will try to steal food right off your table. Consider eating inside.

must-visit for seafood lovers. 🦞🐟 The variety is incredible — from fresh oysters, lobsters, prawns, and sushi to cooked dishes like fish & chips. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced for the quality. It can get very busy, especially around lunch, but the lively atmosphere adds to the experience. Seating is available inside and outside, with a nice view of the water. Perfect place to enjoy fresh seafood in Sydney!

Sydney Fish Market is a must-visit if you love seafood! The variety is amazing! everything from fresh prawns and oysters to sushi, lobster, and sashimi. We tried a little bit of everything and it was all so fresh and delicious. It does get really busy, especially around lunchtime, but that’s part of the fun and atmosphere. Prices are reasonable for the quality you’re getting, and there’s plenty of seating by the water where you can enjoy your food. Just watch out for the seagulls if you’re eating outside! Definitely worth the stop when you’re in Sydney.

If you find yourself in Sydney, you absolutely cannot miss this incredible spot! I was blown away by the freshness of the seafood—it was beyond anything I expected! The giant crabs and lobsters are simply amazing. It’s a culinary experience you won’t forget!

The Sydney Fish Market is an absolute must-visit for any seafood lover, a sensory experience that captures the bustling energy of a genuine working market. It's a place where the freshness is undeniable and the variety is staggering, offering a unique and delicious glimpse into Australia's incredible seafood culture. Here's why a trip to the Sydney Fish Market is highly recommended: Unbeatable Freshness and Variety: Stepping inside is like entering a seafood wonderland. The sheer number of different species on display is breathtaking, from local catches to exotic imports. You can see live lobsters, crabs, and oysters, or a huge array of fish laid out on ice. The quality is second to none, and it's a fantastic opportunity to see and purchase seafood at its freshest. A "Choose Your Own Adventure" Dining Experience: This isn't your typical restaurant. You can buy fresh seafood and have it prepared on the spot by vendors, whether you want it grilled, fried, or as sashimi. The most popular option is to create your own feast from the various retailers. Grab some fresh oysters shucked right in front of you, a sashimi platter, a classic fish and chips, or a whole grilled lobster. The possibilities are endless. Bustling, Authentic Atmosphere: The market is a hive of activity, with vendors calling out prices, chefs selecting ingredients, and tourists and locals alike navigating the aisles. It's loud, it's a little messy, and it's full of life. This authentic, no-frills environment is part of its charm. While it can get very crowded, especially on weekends, that's all part of the vibrant experience. More Than Just Seafood: While seafood is the main attraction, the market also features a bakery, a deli, a butcher, and a greengrocer. You can easily put together an entire picnic, complete with a bottle of wine from the on-site bottle shop, to enjoy on the outdoor waterfront seating. Tips for a Perfect Visit: * Go early: To avoid the biggest crowds, aim for a morning visit, especially on weekends. * Mind the seagulls: The outdoor seating area is beautiful, but the gulls are famously opportunistic. Keep a close eye on your food! * Bring cash (and your appetite): While most places take card, having some cash can be helpful. And most importantly, come hungry! The Sydney Fish Market is more than just a place to buy seafood; it's a genuine cultural experience that embodies Sydney's coastal identity. Whether you're a local or a tourist, it's a fantastic spot to indulge in some of the best seafood the city has to offer.
