In this video I’m in Sydney checking out the (very shiny) new Sydney Fish Market on the waterfront to see if it’s actually worth your hard-earned money. It was baking hot outside, I was properly craving seafood, and I wanted to see what the market is like now it’s been redone. I came around lunch so it was busy, but I found it really easy to walk around, really well designed, and honestly massive. I loved seeing the variety and how everything was presented—from sashimi options like blue fin and yellow fin tuna, to huge crabs and lobsters, plus all the different sizes of prawns. I also show the fun bits, like watching the staff prep seafood, and the fact it’s not just fish: there are stalls for things like chicken and pork, plus a general store with tools and cooking bits. What surprised me is how much more it feels like a proper market now—there are cheese and pâté stalls, and even fruit and veg, so you could actually do a weekend grocery shop here. For lunch, I tried Moreton Bay bug (I know, they look a bit creepy), and I really enjoyed it—it tasted a lot like lobster tail and I’d recommend it. I also grabbed smoked eel sushi and a wagyu + sea urchin sushi, then got distracted (as I do) by a sugar cane drink and some cheeky chocolate-coated strawberries. Overall, it’s one of the best fish markets I’ve been to in a while.
