Having some extra time up your sleeve over the Easter long weekend is the perfect excuse for a trip to Sydney Fish Market. Easter is a family-friendly event at the Market, with thousands of Sydneysiders coming down to enjoy the cooling weather and stock up on seafood for their Easter celebrations.
If you're planning on popping in, we've got some delicious recommendations from our retailers for you to try. Sit down and join us for a snack while you're grabbing your Easter prawns!
Sushi Tacos
Fish Market Cafe's famous Sushi Donuts have been the talk of the town for years, but many people don't know that they also have these showstopping Sushi Tacos on the menu. Many locals even prefer them to the famous Sushi Donuts!
The freshest sashimi, micro herbs, and sushi rice are cradled in a crunchy nori casing, perfect for chomping down on while you sit in the sunshine.
Octopus Skewers
If you've only ever had chewy, rubbery calamari from the local pub, our retailers' Octopus Skewers (available at most hot food spots at SFM) will blow your mind.
Painted with a delicious teriyaki marinade and grilled on high heat, these skewers are such a satisfying mix of crunchy tentacles and soft flesh.
Lobster Rolls
Want to know the best place to get a quality Lobster Roll in Sydney? Look no further than the Aburi Bar at Peters Sydney Fish Market. Situated in the centre of the main arcade, this little stall is responsible for blowtorching to perfection any number of cheesy, crispy delicacies.
While Aburi Scallops are probably their most famous dish (and are super delicious in their own right), their Lobster Rolls are also an absolute winner. Think fresh Lobster on a brioche bun, topped with golden, caramelised cheese, a drizzle of special sauce, and a sprinkle of zingy fish roe. Too good!
Tart of the Day
Our on-site bakery, Gregory's Bread, rotates through a huge range of sweet treats each day. From their Caramel and Cheese Tart to their White Chocolate and Sour Creme Brule, there is something to cure everyone's sweet tooth in this window.
A bonus? You can pick up your freshly baked bread for the week at the same time!
Aburi Eel with Uni
Another winner from the Peters' Aburi Bar are these stunning Aburi Eel skewers. The teriyaki-marinated Eel is first caramelised to perfection on a hot grill, before being blowtorched for extra crispiness. This dish is really levelled up with the addition of melted cheese and fresh Uni on top.
Salt and Pepper Squid
Ask one of the friendly fishmongers at Peters, Nicholas, or Christie's to help you select a glistening, fresh, Australian squid, then ask for it to be deep fried, Chinese salt and pepper style.
The result? Piping hot, crunchy morsels of squid that we have been told are superior to even the famed Tetsuya’s. The servings here are huge, so make sure you've got the family gathered around to share it!
Wagyu Kimchi Toastie
Blackwattle Deli is famous for its incredible selection of artisanal deli products, from French cheeses to American hot-sauce to truffle butter, but they also have one of the best cafe's in the market!
Their toasties are all to die for, but if you want something really unique, you have to try their Wagyu Kimchi Toastie. Rich and flavoursome, with just the right amount of spicy bite, this dish will keep you fuelled up for your seafood shopping adventures.
They also make a fantastic coffee!
Oyster Bento
Sydney Fish Market boasts a mind-blowing variety of oysters, but one of the best ways to enjoy these as a mid-shop snack is in an Oyster Bento! Six oysters, served with three different delicious dressings, in a handy little tray perfect for carrying around with you as you shop.
Our favourite style is seaweed salad and fish roe, but you can also get spicy tabasco and ginger-soy varieties!
Wagyu Brisket Burger
All seafood-ed out? Head over to Vic's Meat Market to find a real carnivore's cavern of delights! They've got every kind of quality meat you would ever think of throwing on your BBQ (as well as a few kinds you've never heard of!), as well as an on-site Smokehouse.
Our pick from their Smokehouse menu is the Wagyu Brisket Burger, featuring 10-hour smoked Wagyu Brisket, house made tangy slaw, and house made BBQ sauce. So satisfying!
Poke Bowl
If all the fried, grilled, and blowtorched options at our retailers aren't up your alley, a great lighter, fresher option are our Poke Bowls. Available at the sushi bars of most retailers, these convenient snacks are not only filling, but super healthy.
Choose from salmon, kingfish, or tuna sashimi, and you'll receive a bowl of the highest quality fish, sushi rice, fish roe, and veggies to perfectly satisfy your snackiness.
