Christmas has almost arrived, and we’ve done the hard work for you to collect a range of gift suggestions that’ll suit any food lover, whether you’re shopping for a tricky Secret Santa, Uncle Jim, or your best mate.
Mama Liu’s Chilli Oil
This chilli oil is the latest TikTok sensation, and for good reason. Handmade in small batches in Sydney's south west, it's hot, spicy, crispy, toasty and packed with umami flavours. It's perfect for seafood, because it’s intensely flavourful yet not off-the-charts spicy, balancing the symphony of flavours with the heat.
Australian Tinned Fish
Speaking of TikTok trends... Sardines on toast are the latest ‘it’ snack, anchovies are on every restaurant menu, and ‘seacuterie’ boards stacked with tins are all the rage on TikTok.
We’ve got no problem with tinned seafood... We love anything that gets Aussies eating more fish! Our top tip, though, is to buy Australian. Not only does that mean you can be sure the fish was sourced sustainably, but it also means you’re supporting local industry. Bonus!
Our favourite places to buy Australian sourced and canned seafood are Little Tuna and Little Tin Co.
Fancy Condiments
Our on-site artisanal deli Blackwattle Deli isn’t just the best place at Sydney Fish Market to get a coffee... It’s also home to a huge range of delicious dressings, jams, honeys, oils, vinegars, sauces, and sweet treats.
Pick up something small as a stocking filler, or create a bespoke gift basket for the ultra-special foodie in your life. 
The Sydney Fish Market Cookbook: ‘A Fish for all Seasons’
With the help of Sydney Seafood School, we’ve written and self-published the ultimate seafood-lover's cookbook, just in time for Christmas.
Packed with over 100 recipes focusing on lesser-known or under-loved Australian seafood species, this book is the perfect pressie for anyone who loves to experiment in the kitchen.
Bespoke Seafood Tea Towels
Why not bundle a book with one of our bespoke tea towels? We’ve got a bunch of hand-illustrated designs available to suit any kitchen colour scheme.
In The Roundhouse
The only thing better than sitting down to a plate of fresh Australian seafood, is that plate being themed accordingly. We are obsessed with In The Roundhouse’s range of seafood-themed crockery, illustrated by Daimon Downey, and we reckon any other seafood lover will be too.
Sydney Seafood School Gift Vouchers
Our on-site cooking school is iconic for a reason... It’s been around for over 30 years! Don’t worry, retro prawn cocktails are off the menu (most of the time).
Pick up a gift voucher for a friend or family member who loves to cook, or needs to brush up their seafood skills.
Crab Crackers
Boatshed Gifts (located at the very front of Sydney Fish Market’s main arcade) has a bunch of seafood-themed eating and cooking utensils available, from sashimi knives to oyster forks.
Our pick are the crab-themed crab crackers. A little cannibalistic? Maybe... Super cute? Also yes.
