Sydney Fish Market Tours

A must do tour. Informative, funny at times and incredible insights into the fishing industry with a strong personal connection through our guides family history.

A friendly and informative guided tour. Dan was very Knowledgeable and passionate about the fish market. Informing us all of how it works from catching to selling.

Dan was an excellent guide !!! We booked this tour on a lark to fill in time during our stay and we are so glad we did . This place was amazing and the retail market upstairs was incredible!!

Great experience! Our tour guide, Dan, was amazing. Very informative and passionate about the fishing industry

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!

As someone who has visited the Sydney Fish Market many times, getting to see the behind-the-scenes operations of the new market was an incredibly exciting experience. This was easily one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. The entire experience was perfectly laid out—from grabbing coffee to walking the floor and seeing the live auction in action. We got an up-close look at the fish and all the different sections, learning so much about the entire supply process. Our guide, Dan, was absolutely brilliant. He was cheery, friendly, and incredibly welcoming. Not only did he know everything about how the new fish market operates and the history of the old one, but he also had deep personal experience with the seafood industry. We learned just as much about the fish itself as we did about the facility. There wasn't a single question he didn't know the answer to! My wife, my parents, and I had the absolute best time. If you want to truly understand how this amazing place works, I cannot recommend this tour—and Dan—highly enough.

Dan took us on a wonderful informative tour of behind the scenes at the fish market. He was extremely knowledgeable and passionately gave us a good understanding of everything from catching the fish, the boats, the auction floor and processes involved in getting them to market. He showed us a tank of 10kg Tasmanian crabs, crayfish and a variety of fish from small whiting to tuna and marlin.

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!)

Amazing insight into the fishing industry and different species of fish really good guide

One word WOW! Our tour with guide Dan was absolutely incredible. Right from the moment we booked to the time we left the whole journey felt like we were part of the family. The atmosphere of the workers salesman and fisherman was something truely special and you should all be grateful for. The wealth of knowledge from Dan about every species of fish was absolutely incredible. The way you get to see every stage of the marketing process from the fisherman on the boat till the moment it leaves in a truck it is something everyone needs to see. Hands down one of the best tours / experiences we have had in Sydney and will definitely recommend to anyone travelling here
