Walking down the street, you'll start to smell the distinctive scent of fish in the air - this means you're getting close to the fish market! Inside the market, there are several restaurants, some with their own seafood sections where customers can choose from. There are plenty of options!

However, I personally feel this place has been completely taken over by Asian visitors... there are very few locals here. I thought this fish market has lost its original charm for me! But as a foodie, I still needed to try the seafood here.... They have everything from luxury items like lobster and king crab to regular fish, prawns, and crabs. If you live in Australia, the prices aren't too expensive, but compared to fish markets I've seen in other countries, the prices here are sky-high!

The seafood at the market is mostly pre-processed and served cold (for eating plain), but since we wanted something hot, we didn't order any of the cold seafood!
