Straight off my flight, I headed to Sydney Fish Market to grab some lunch. Stepping foot in the market, the bustling atmosphere and the aroma of fresh seafood made me eager to explore this place. As I walked past the colorful stalls, you cannot help but feel amazed by the variety of fish, oysters, lobsters, shellfish etc on display. Choosing what to eat was both fun and challenging, with so many delicious options to consider. I finally settled on some oysters and a mixed variety of sashimi. I savoured every bite, enjoying the flavors of the ocean. Sitting by the water, watching the boats go by, added to the charm of the meal. But do watch out for those pesky seagulls that are always on the lookout for the next opportunity to pounce on your meal! #WinHKFlight #winhkflight To me, Hong Kong is a melting pot of culture, outdoors, nightlife, food and history! I want to travel to Hong Kong to visit the fishing village of Tai O, get my shopping fix at Tung Chung Outlets, take the Star Ferry across the iconic Victoria Harbour and...so much more! Just writing this gets me excited!!!

📍Sydney fish market Not far from the city, this seafood market is a must-visit for seafood lovers!! While it may not be as big as Melbourne's South Melbourne Market, it still offers a wide variety of seafood, including fried sushi and more. Steamed Australian lobster: The lobster here has a firm texture and is served with salad dressing, but personally, I prefer dipping it in soy sauce for a fresher taste. - Oysters: How can you visit a seafood market and not have oysters! Most of them are of good quality and not fishy. - Salmon and Tuna: The salmon here is of the standard Sydney level, fresh and firm. When you order a whole piece, they will slice it for you. Just order by weight, and the staff will help you with the portion. Don't forget to get a box of mustard dipping sauce to go along with it. Opening hours: 7am-4pm. address：Corner Pyrmont Bridge Rd &, Bank St, Pyrmont NSW 2009 #sydneytrip

Australia is surrounded by the sea, so you can eat fresh seafood anytime✨ If you want to eat delicious seafood like fish and chips or oysters, be sure to visit the Sydney Fish Market!

Sydney Fish Market is the largest market of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere. Located in the Pyrmont neighbourhood of Sydney, it’s a must-visit destination for seafood lovers! The market has over 100 different species of seafood which are sourced from sustainable and responsible fisheries. You can also find ranges of deli items, fresh products and specialty goods in the market. Beyond shopping, it’s one of the best seafood dining experience in Sydney. Though it can be very crowded most of the time, but I would highly recommend sitting at the outdoor seating area as it provides a stunning view of the harbour. They are open daily from 7am to 4pm, and I highly recommend you to visit Sydney Market when you’re there! #tripblazers #sydney #australia #darwintravel

#Australia #Sydney #SydneyFishMarket 🦀🦞🦐🦑🐙🐟 Sydney Fish Market opened in 1945, and its blue exterior seems to be connected to the sky. 👣 The sales area is not very big, and there are not many stalls, but it has everything you need. In addition to selling various fresh seafood, there are also bread, fruits, wine, cheese, etc. There is also a Chinese restaurant and a cafe. ☀️There are also many seats outside the venue. You can enjoy food under the blue sky and blue sea. It is really a great pleasure in life... But the premise is that you need to have a strong heart (laugh) because there are so many seagulls outside, and they are all eyeing the food. Be careful that your lunch will be stolen before you put it in your mouth! Sydney Fish Market is close to the city. From Central Station, take the L1 light rail line to Fish Market Station and then walk to the fish market. The whole journey takes about 20 minutes. If you start from Darling Harbour, it takes about 20 minutes to walk. Those who drive can use the paid parking spaces in the market. 📍Sydney Fish Market Address: Corner Pyrmont Bridge Rd &, Bank St, Pyrmont NSW 2009, Australia

~ Harvest Buffet 🌟 ——————————————————————————— Last week on Valentine's Day we went to The Darling Hotel for a staycation, that night we booked the Harvest Buffet, which is a seafood buffet ~🦐 That day we arrived already saw a lot of people queuing (walk-in), if there is no booking may have to wait half an hour to an hour. Walk-in has a membership system (The star member), of course, the more senior members will have priority🔔 Because we booked very early, just register with the staff to get in. We used the membership that day, just let the staff scan the code to get 7% off🎶 ——————————————————————————— ▶️ Food Styles: There are areas divided into seafood, Japanese, Indian, European, Chinese, dessert and more We went to the seafood area first, maybe because there were a lot of people queuing up just after seating, about 5 minutes to get 🙌🏻 🦐Seafood: We took marbles, oysters, mussels, crab, shrimp Among them, our least recommended are oysters and marbles, oysters are no oyster smell, no seawater smell, and are relatively fishy and small, a little disappointed🦪 The more recommended are shrimp and crab, but their salt content is very high, eat really salty, but the advantage is quite large, is more affordable, and better than oysters tasteless😂 🍙Japanese: We saw sushi when we were queuing for seafood. We thought we would pick it up after eating the first plate, but after eating it, we walked back and it became something else. We couldn't find Japanese food😶 🍛 Indian cuisine: My boyfriend's favorite food in the whole buffet is Indian curry rice. The spices of curry rice are very fragrant, not too heavy, and it is easier to accept🥘 🍕 European cuisine: I tried 3 pizzas, of which I like the cheese pizza the most, the second is the crab meat pizza, D ingredients are quite a lot, but eat too much is quite missing 🤔 ▪️Spanish pasta is quite creamy and not very dry ▪️ Lasagna will be too leaky, and the taste is not strong enough 🫣 ▪️ Pan-fried salmon is the most disappointing, not fragrant, and no taste, really only the appearance is attractive. We have seen many people take the salmon, but did not eat, it was a scam😂 ▪️Fried beef fillet, two words describe "shoes, tough", do not recommend this ▪️ Holy child is normal, and usually buffet is rarely eaten, feels quite special 🍰 Dessert: It’s really cool The best is the cheesecake and caramel compote, the others are just the look, even the marshmallows in the chocolate fountain are weird 🤣 ▶️ Environment: The environment is actually quite good, not crowded, the atmosphere is quite lively. The tables are very close to the food area, you don't have to walk for a long time to get food🥰 ▶️ Offer: Originally AUD$94 a person, then there is a 7% discount, after the discount about AUD$65-70 a person, Valentine's Day will also have 2 glasses of champagne free🌟 ▶️ Overall: It's cheap for a buffet dinner of HKD$400, if you just want to eat enough. But if you want to compare to some five-star hotel buffets in Hong Kong, you really have to consider before booking🤔 We thought the hotel was quite good, the quality of the food should not be bad, but after eating we were a little disappointed😶 Also, to this buffet we searched for a long time, it was on an inconspicuous staircase😂 ——————————————————————————— Rating: (🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 Highest) Cleanliness: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 Deliciousness: 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 Transportation: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 Value for money: 🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 Service attitude: 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 Overall: 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑 ——————————————— Price: AUD$65-70 per person Address: Floor 1 80 Pyrmont St, Pyrmont NSW 2009, Australia ——————————————— #area #hourshotel #roomopening #hotel #hongkongtravel #hongkongcouples #couplesdaily #couplesgoodplaces #datinggoodplaces #genderrelationship #photophoto #kkhotels #overseastravel #hkcouple #hkhotel #hotelstage #agoda #trivago #hotel #hotels #couplesdatinggoals #couplesgoals #hotelier

We were very friendly when we checked out because it was the same staff who helped us check out and she said she still remembered us and had a smile 👩🏻‍💼 The staff of the hotel speak multiple languages, and their names will be written next to the nationality, way to take care of the needs of guests from different countries After we did the check out procedure another staff member would take us up to the room, take the lift with us until we entered the room, and would talk to us ▪️Do not disturb if there is no tap, the staff will take the initiative to knock and ask if you need anything.

Everyone says there is no delicious food in Australia, but the seafood in the Sydney Fish Market is really big and delicious 😋 Sea urchins, oysters, shrimps, and king crabs are all giant sizes! In the outdoor seating area, you will see many seagulls snatching sashimi directly from the styrofoam boxes. It is exciting and fun!

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 **Sydney Fish Market in-depth food guide** — ### **🐟 Key Highlights** 1. **The largest seafood trading center in the Southern Hemisphere** - **Fresh direct delivery**: Auctions are held at dawn every day, and lobsters, oysters, king crabs and bluefin tuna that arrive in the morning are directly put on the shelves. - **Open House**: You can watch the auction process (you need to arrive between 5:00-7:00, only during the week). 2. **Foodie Paradise Experience** - **Must-eat list**: ✔️ Freshly opened Sydney Rock Oyster with lemon ✔️ Grilled Lobster Tail (Half Lobster with Garlic Butter) ✔️ Seafood platter (recommend the deluxe version from "Peter's") ✔️ Fish and chips (Barramundi is more local than cod) - **Hidden way to eat**: Buy raw seafood (such as sashimi-grade salmon) and have it cut freshly at a processing stall, which is 30% cheaper than in a restaurant. 3. **Featured Activities** - **Seafood Master Class** (appointment required): Learn to open oysters or cook Australian specialty seafood. - **Behind the scenes tour**: Learn about market operations and sustainable fishing. — ### **🚌 Transportation and Time** - **Direct access by light rail**: L1 line to Fish Market station, or a 15-minute walk from Darling Harbour. - **Best time**: ✅ Arrive before 11:00 - the seafood is the freshest and you can avoid the crowds of tour groups. ❌ Some stalls closed in the afternoon, and the choices became fewer. — ### **⚠️ Scam Prevention Guide** - **Price Trap**: - Compare before you buy! The price difference of the same species (such as lobster) at different stalls can reach 20%. - Be careful of the "current price" signs and always ask for the price/weight before placing an order. - **Seagull Attack**: - These "air robbers" snatch shrimp from tourists' hands while dining outdoors. - **Payment Method**: - Some stalls only accept cash (especially in the morning market), so be prepared with plenty of Australian dollar change. — ### **🍴Peripheral extension gameplay** 1. **Blackwattle Bay Stroll**: After a hearty meal, walk along the bay trail to digest the food and take photos of the Opera House from afar. 2. **Check-in at Sydney University**: Take the bus for 10 minutes to the "Harry Potter Building" to take photos. — ### **🎯 Suitable for people** - **Seafood Fanatics**: Lobster freedom is not a dream! - **Experience-oriented tourists**: Observation of the complete industry chain from auction to dining table. - **Flexible budget**: From AU$30 (simple meal) to AU$150 (luxurious meal) per person. **Summary**: Sydney Fish Market is a must-visit place to “feel Australia with your stomach”. **It is recommended to go there on an empty stomach and bring your own wet wipes**! Locals’ tip: There is the most supply on Wednesdays and Thursdays, and the price premium is obvious on weekends.

#aprilblooms April in Sydney brings a quiet kind of beauty—blue waters shimmering under soft sunlight, and a stillness that makes the city feel like home. Took a peaceful stroll through Glebe, where leafy streets meet the water’s edge, and everything slows down just a little. Wentworth Park was glowing in the afternoon light—locals walking dogs, kids playing, and the sound of birds blending with the distant harbour breeze. Just minutes from the city, but it feels like a hidden world. Sydney isn’t just about the icons—it’s the pockets of calm, the gentle rhythm of everyday life, and the little corners where nature and city meet. #SydneyHarbour #GlebeViews #WentworthPark #AutumnInSydney #CitySerenity

Wandered through laneways full of colorful graffiti, grabbed a coffee, and watched the city come alive. Autumn in Sydney doesn’t mean fading—it means blooming in a whole new way.

We started our day at the famous Sydney Fish Market, where giant seabirds greeted us at the entrance and rows of seafood stalls offered the freshest catch of the day. Many even cook your picks on the spot! We chose a luxurious breakfast spread—lobster, sea urchin, prawns, oysters, and scallops—paired with a bottle of wine and enjoyed it by the harbor. Even in the rain, the peaceful view made it unforgettable. After breakfast, we wandered through the city—passing Martin Place and catching live performances near Sydney Tower Eye that added an unexpected spark to the stroll.
