Sandra
Very interesting tour learning about the new building and market. The food selection is great.
GetYourGuide
Was overpriced but very interesting. With the price you paid, we felt a fish and chip meal should be included as a finishing experience.

Glad to visit the current market before the new one opens in January 2026. The cooked-food area has several stalls selling battered or grilled seafood with chips or salads, and there are also sashimi and sushi options made with fresh fish. Beer on tap was smooth and refreshing. Inside the main market vicinity, there are several seafood stalls where you can buy raw seafood to bring home. A lively spot with great choices whether you are dining in or shopping for fresh seafood.

Visited Sydney Fish Market in Pyrmont, and it’s easily one of Sydney’s best food destinations. The variety of seafood is amazing — fresh sashimi, grilled lobster, oysters, sushi, and more, all caught that day. You can grab your food and enjoy it outside with a beautiful harbor view. The market is bustling but clean, with a fun, lively energy. Whether you’re after a quick bite, a seafood feast, or just want to experience Sydney’s food culture, this is the perfect place. Come hungry and you’ll leave happy.

Great spot for super fresh seafood! There’s an awesome range and the prices are pretty decent for what you get. The vibes are great and it’s the perfect place to hang out on a sunny day. Only downside is the area’s not that big and seating can be a bit limited, so we had to wait for a table. Most of it’s outdoors too, so please watch out for the seagulls!!! Really glad they’re upgrading the place though and can’t wait to see the new look!

The entrance is free, do not believe what’s on Google review that says $95 on ticket section. Got plenty of good food from Multiple food vendors. Many varieties of fish, prawn and crab that you can cook at home, lots of choices but if you want to eat in the market just be careful with the seagulls, those birds love to steal people’s food but thankfully they never snach mine. What I don’t like about this market is when so many Chinese tourists come here, they don’t know the basic manner like standing on the queue or just saying “excuse me & sorry”.

Arrived at 3.20pm and it seems like most stalls are already washing up and closing, no more cooking of seafood. Had a quick look and the seafood is indeed fresh and of high quality, however, the prices are on the high side as you can expect of a tourist spot. Got a quick bite for $5 but didn’t managed to catch anything else as it was already near closing time. Would still recommend a visit if you are in the vicinity and enjoys seafood, you choose the items, they cook for you.
