Sydney Fish Market

On Sundays in 🇭🇲 Sydney, public transport is capped at 2.70 AUD - perfect time to go exploring! The bus 🚌 ride was quick and convenient. If driving 🚗, expect queues for parking - first hour free 👏, then 5 AUD per half hour 💵.

People say it closes early, so I arrived at 10 AM 🕙. It got increasingly crowded later 👥. Initially studied the map to choose a vendor, but realized it's like a big food court 🍻 - all shops are similar, just grab a seat wherever you see one or find food you like. Prices are similar across vendors.

🐠 Huge variety of seafood, and genuinely fresh! 🎣 The ocean's aroma hits you immediately. Oysters and scallops can be eaten raw - super juicy! If dining solo, try small portions from different places [playful], larger groups can order ingredients for chef-prepared dishes.

Cleanliness is reasonable considering it's a seafood market - naturally some moisture 💦 on the floor. Despite crowds, it's well-organized. During meal times, the outdoor seats ⚓🏖 by the wharf become popular, with seabirds 🕊 around, but they don't steal food.

Regarding prices 💰, it's more about quality than bargains. My order:

• Cheese scallops (3): 10 AUD

• Regular oysters (half dozen): 19 AUD

• Grilled scallops (4): 10 AUD

• Grilled octopus 🐙 box: 16.50 AUD

• Salmon sashimi: 14 AUD per jin

• Fruit yogurt: 9 AUD

• Scallop sashimi (6): 11.50 AUD

Prices are similar to China, but freshness guaranteed, and locals find it affordable!

Definitely worth visiting - a memorable seafood feast experience. Educational too! Many oyster varieties at different price points - even the regular ones taste great. Reminds me of the oyster feast at Sydney Tower buffet - definitely got my money's worth!
