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.

Was there for a family trip, the place is as beautiful as it used to be. Ordered the some sashimi from the first store on the right once entered the building, fresh and tasty as it can. Also ordered some fried food which is also hot, fresh and at a reasonable price.

There is a lot of bin chicken nearby so please watch out if sitting outdoor. Otherwise everything is very nice

If you want reviews about the retail area of the fish markets, read the other great entries. My review is about the behind the scenes tour of the workings of the market. Our tour guide was professional, knowledgeable and injected her enthusiasm into the tour. The tour included some history of the market and local area, then onto the auction floor, with its fascinating Dutch auction system. We were shown various species of fish and crustaceans, many of which I didn’t realise were of commercial interest. A very enjoyable experience and well worth the early start!

There was good place.
I had some prawns and salmon kebab.
It was delicious and fresh.
There was too many people but tables was too little, because it was rainy day.
So I had to get a table only inside.
But Sydney fish market gave me a good memory.

Must visit. Make sure you go early (up to around 9am) to avoid the crowds and to get the freshest catch! Our favourite were the lobster rolls and the fresh cuttlefish calamari - yum! The staff will also cut and prepare your own lobster for you should you choose to take it home. It was the sweetest lobster we ever had.

This is definitely a MUST visit location if you go to Sydney and especially if you LOVE seafood.

So many varieties of fresh seafood.

You have the option of purchasing and take your seafood home, buy and have them cook it there for you or buy food already cook and eat there.

Only if I have a bigger belly or more room, I would of eaten more!

It was so delicious and worth the money.

Glad we got to visit.

Great experience coming just before Christmas. We went at 7pm Christmas eve eve, it was busy but not overwhelming. They are very organised with traffic control so that made parking easy. The selection of seafood was huge! Prices were a little expensive but I am expecting top quality. The staff at every shop were helpful, knowledgeable and friendly.

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.

Sydney Fish Market is a seafood haven! Fresh catch, vibrant atmosphere, and a variety of dining options. We particularly loved having seafood freshly cooked to our liking. A seafood lover's paradise with a lively, bustling vibe. 🦐🐟🦑

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.

Such a huge variety of seafood. Everything is big big. Amazing crabs, lobsters, oysters and prawns. You can choose your food and have it cooked for you within the hour. Sit on the outdoor patio and just enjoy. The energy is electric, everyone is working like there will be no tomorrow. Great place to visit in Sydney.

The best fish market I’ve ever been to. The atmosphere is excellent, the options are endless, and the fish is fresh. There are so many different things to try, it’s truly seafood heaven. Loved it so much I had to go back again the next day

Very nice to eat general sea food such as fillets, sushi, cutlet, sashimi something. However, it seems not looks much fresh to eat raw fish. For your safe health I strongly suggest to eat sea foods after deep cook.

Absolutely worth the visit. All the seafood you could imagine eating... prices were pretty decent too! Great vibe, even better food!

A must visit place for everyone who is traveling to Sydney.

Everytime that I have to take friends, visitors and family to travel, Sydney Fish Market is one of my bucket list.

As an Asian, I always prepare my own seafood sauce to eat with Oysters 🦪. Sweet chili paste and crispy shallots are the best combination with fresh oysters too. I also prepare some salad like fresh celery to kill the taste after eating salmon. 🍣

Cautions: be careful with the seagulls as they always attack you and your food.

Excellent place for fresh fish and seafood. Quite an institution for Sydney. Looking forward to the new development to provide more space - at peak times it is really hard to find a space. We ended up in the Boat Shed restaurant - excellent, but a little more expensive than the other options.

Great place for tourist! People mostly recommend the 2 main seafood stores in the market (Peters and Nicholas) we got half dozen of Sydney rock oyster, a box of salmon sashimi, some shrimps and cooked seafood. Generally raw ones are way much better than the cooked ones (and takes long to wait to be cooked)

Absolutely love the buzz of this place. The freshness, quality and price of their seafood is awesome. The sashimi is lovely and fresh. You can request for salmon sashimi to be cut in front of you or pre-prepared/pre-packed already. The scallops had way too much cheese for my liking. King oysters at $6 each are massive, fresh and delicious. Such good value for money. The kids loved sushi the best which are very well priced. Soft shell crap was a bit salty but nice and crispy. You have the option to sit indoors or outside. Most seats are outside if you wish to battle it out with the birds. We prefer eating inside although tables are very scarce and you need to be quick. Light rail is a super convenient mode of transport to get there.

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.
