Sydney Fish Market
One of the largest seafood markets in the Southern Hemisphere, where you can buy oysters, lobster and sashimi and enjoy them right on the bay.
Sydney Fish Market sits on Blackwattle Bay in Pyrmont and is one of the largest seafood markets in the Southern Hemisphere, auctioning over a hundred kinds of seafood every day. The visitor area has many seafood shops and takeaway stalls where you can buy fresh oysters, Australian lobster, king crab, sashimi and seafood platters. Have them steamed or grilled, then eat al fresco by the bay. Prices are more affordable than in city restaurants. Paid guided tours let you watch the early-morning seafood auction. The market is relocating to a newly built fish market building next door, so please check the official website for the current address and opening hours before you go. Take the L1 light rail from Central station to Fish Market station, or walk about 20 minutes from Darling Harbour.
Opening hours
About 7:00 am–4:00 pm (check the official website)
