Sydney's fish market is like Melbourne's Victoria Market - a must-visit spot for tourists. However, while Victoria Market is large, the fish market is quite small. Built along the coast, you're hit with a fishy smell as soon as you enter.

Of course, visiting the fish market means trying their seafood. We bought Scallops with cheese, abalone, and spicy lobster. The scallops and abalone were decent, but I felt the lobster wasn't very fresh.
