Sydney Fish Market

October 24, 2009 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

Sydney has a fabulous fish market – the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Based at Blackwattle Bay on the harbour foreshore, it’s a great place to spend an hour or so on a Friday afternoon, although any longer than that and the parking costs become prohibitive.

My little Lumix camera and I played tourist last time I was there. Here are some photos – especially for Dan, Jane and all our other friends who are away from Sydney this spring. We’re missing you, so make sure you come back soon!

We bought some delicious extra-large Tiger prawns, as well as half a dozen Pacific oysters from South Australia…

…and some sardine and ocean trout fillets. The trout was baked in the oven for dinner that night – dressed with just a good olive oil and a little salt and pepper. Simply perfect!

Thanks for the fabulous pics C. Love them, it makes me a little melancholy for home and brings back great memories of hanging out down at the fish market. I use to stalk the old Japanese ladies buying fresh cut sushi and then requested “the same as her”. Hehehe. And I always found the men shucking oysters mesmerizing. We liked to sit and watch them while we ate lunch, Followed by a wander and bit of shopping for dinner. Hmmmm…..

  I’m glad you enjoyed them, love. We’ll spend a few hours there next time you’re home, hang the parking cost.. :)
