Highly Recommend

Dan was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the market. It was an amazing experience to watch the auction. We also got to see the fish up close and speak with fishermen. Would highly recommend!

Fascinating tour !

I would tell anyone who travels to Sydney that this is a must-tour. We learned so many fascinating facts about the fishing industry, and our guides were super knowledgeable and friendly. It was so fun to learn about the fish auction, and to see some of it live. You also get to see so many different fish species up close. I know it’s a pain to get up so early in the morning, but trust us, it is worth it. And don’t worry, there is a coffee stop on the tour! The building itself is gorgeous, and after the tour, there are so many kiosks to choose from for brunch. (If you like sushi/sashimi or oysters, this is the place to be!)

So worth the early wake up!

What a fantastic tour of the workings of the Sydney fish markets! So interesting to watch the auctions and then the entire process of how the fish end up in the local (or international) fish shops! We were lucky enough to see the excitement amongst all of the workers when a 188kg blue fin tuna was actioned and subsequently displayed for public viewing today.

Outstanding introduction to how our seafood is sourced, graded and sold. Watch the unique auction take plac, visit the floor where product is graded, sorted and packed.

Great Catch!

Great experience, small group which made it better, Mike the guide was excellent and had hands on experience as a fisherman and knew all about the fish, crabs and answered any questions related.
