Sydney Fish Market (Lots of photos!)
One of my favourite places in Sydney is the Sydney Fish Market. For a fish-lover like me, it is pure delight to walk in and out of the shops ogling at the mind-boggling array of seafood and fishes, many of which are totally alien to me! Perhaps it's the cooler weather but their market doesn't smell as bad as some of the markets here do and is incredibly clean. They can be, however, just as slippery so watch your step!They do have a cooking school too although I didn't get a chance to enquire about prices and courses but I believe they have some information on their website.
Anyway, enough talking for now. I'll leave you with the photos and I hope you enjoy your virtual visit here as much as I did! :)
Fresh oysters at a steal at $12.90/dozen!

I never knew Sydney had a fish mkt and wow, it looks good. The sea urchin look so scary compared to what you get in the Japanese restaurants.
Hey Boo, the Sydney Fish Mrkt is a definite must-see! They have lots of cooked seafood there too and gorgeous seafood platters which we were too full to try :(
