"
Let's go to a fish market! "
When Daddy made this preposition, we were perplexed. We are suppose to be on a holiday, where theme parks, playgrounds and attractions await... Not to a market to shop for fish!

Getting there
The
Sydney Fish market (SFM)is located at Bank Street Pyrmont. We took the Metro Light Rail from the convention stop at Darling Harbour to the Fish Market Stop. Tickets for the light rail are available on board. It was a quick 10 minutes ride to the SFM. Most shops are open at 7am to afternoon at 4-5pm. Be there early to beat the crowds.

We were there early at 10am. SFM is just located opposite the light rail station.

The place was not as crowded as we expect. We did a quick stroll through the shops.

There are a few shops to explore. Bigger ones are Peter's fish market and Nicholas Seafoods.

Fresh seafood are aplenty in this place. You can buy them back to cook or get them cook on the spot. Ready prepared seafood platters are available.

If you are a fruit lover, there is a whole stall located at the end of the market for fresh juicy apples and stuff.
 |
| Fruits galore |
Along the way we saw scores of yummy looking seafood.
 |
| Yummy! |
We quickly found out that we are here to enjoy the fresh seafood. With the cool weather, it is recommended you have your meals outdoor!

| Bright and sunny |
There are rows of tables outside SFM, next to the pier for you to enjoy the seafood. We were told the boardwalk will be up for an upgrade this August.

We ordered fish and chips as well as a seafood platter

The cheese lobsters and oysters are a must try for Seafood lovers!

The seafood was deliciously fresh.
Eating by the pier does up the 'shiok' factor as you soak up the atmosphere outdoors.

Beware of the seagulls, they will swoop in for a bite if given a chance.

We had to put on our fiercest face to 'shoo' them away.
 |
| Beware of the Wackies as well! |
The view is amazing, dining by the pier is something we would not be able to do back in Singapore. The cool weather, clear blue skies , smell of the sea and views of ships all combine to give a great atmosphere.

Head down to Sydney Fish Market for the fresh seafood and al fresco pierside dining. It is an experience one would savour for a day out in Sydney!
And the catch of the day?

ReplyDeleteAm planning a trip there too and want to spend half a day there. Would you recommend to go there first half or second half of the day? Did it get really crowded?
We were there on Sunday morning. Not too bad. The crowd gets bigger after 11, so morning should be a better option
