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!
