Great aburi scallops cooked fresh off the grill. I came to Sydney's Fish Market expecting to see a lot of options, but there's only three main businesses that provide fresh oysters and sashimi. Peter's seemed like the best bet as they had the most foot traffic and offered freshly cooked aburi. The kitchen for all grilled or fried seafood platters opens at 8 AM on a Saturday. All of the other businesses offer same or similar pricing. I ordered a tray of fresh sashimi for A$26.50 each tray and fresh scallop for A$3.50 each piece. Several of the salmon sashimi were not fully cut. The scallop was fresh and buttery. They also charged an extra fee for wasabi and soy sauce. When I placed my order for three pieces of scallop aburi - A$18, I received a pager to confirm my order was ready. My favorite was the scallop aburi which had cheese and steaming hot sushi rice underneath. I deducted a star because inside seating is for customers of Christie's or Fish Market Cafe's only. read more

12/5/24 Selected this spot when visiting fish market. I had one of the best lobster roll. Packed with lobster and other seafood butter roll every bite was stuffed with seafood. The scallop was also delicious was a little skeptical but my tongue happily thanked me for the meal. Service was good. Basically place your order you receive the beeper for when meal is ready. Once received seating is slim pickings and it reserved only for it's patrons. Which seamed the theme for the other establishments. All in all delicious lunch break. read more

Solid choice if you are in the fish market (hello, thank you for easy transportation Sydney!). I ordered the king crab cut open down the middle, the 3 scallops, & the lobster roll. Came to about $40 USD with a drink. Unique way of cooking, which I enjoyed with the charcoal flavor. A couple of different sauces were put on the top of the various food items but I'm not quite sure what they did. The lobster roll could have used a bit more meat, but a pretty good one. The scallops were a good size but personally, I'll opt for the scallops alone without the added rice / cheese mixture mixed in. Only place with a line (though it moves quick!) For the price and ambiance, I'd say worth the try. read more

We had the lobster roll. It was delicious. There is very limited seating but it makes it easy to make new friends

Peter's Fish Market probably the busiest business in Sydney's Fish Market. I strongly suggest you avoid coming on the weekends. Not worth your while to fight with all the tourists for everything. I was here on a Sunday and a Monday, what a difference like night and day! Stay far far away from any of the cooked food at the hot table. Those looks good but had been under the heated lamp for the longest time. We sampled a few sashimi raw seafood: Scampi (meh), abalone ((meh) but just looks so good for the photos! We really enjoyed the uni, scallops and oysters aburi though. A little cheesy but quite unique offerings and it tasted great! read more

The sister and I bought an assortment of things here. We got some OYSTERS, which were full body pieces, but they were more on the dry side. I was expecting more moisture from my oysters and they were not as sweet as I would've liked. I did like the piece of uni on top because they were very creamy. The ikura added some saltiness to the oysters and the caviar had a gritty texture and also had a salty flavor. The SUSHI pieces that were ordered were fresh. I specifically liked the scallops because they had a smoky flavor and the texture was firm, but not tough. The salmon was fresh and sweet. They're not as buttery and oily as the one in the states, but still very good. The unagi was sweet and had a meaty texture. The only gripe I have on the sushi and sushi roll that we ordered was the amount of rice that came with it. It was just too much, but overall flavors were good and fresh. We also got some fried seafood and the flavor on that was the best! I really liked the salmon. It was spiced and seasoned so well. The salmon skin was really crisp and it was sweet and herbal. The fried calamari was so good. I don't usually like fried food, but the calamari was seasoned perfectly and it was so fresh. Once again, the scallop was on point with its smokiness and firm texture. The only thing I didn't like was the fries. They were too soggy and the seasoning was bland. My belly was really happy after this meal. The food was great! I definitely want to come back and order some more. read more

Peter's - Seafood Markets Near Me - Sydney, NSW

My wife and I were honeymooning in NZ and Australia. The fish market was a definite must for us, in fact we went both days we were in Sydney. You'll be hard pressed to try everything in one visit so if you're able try to come back to different try things! Peter's maintains a clean and active seafood market environment. While some are just spectators many are fellow patrons you'll have to compete with to grab a seat after ordering food. Service is relatively fast and the food quality is great with an assortment of options and portion sizes. Try not to go for the first thing you see, rather take a couple passes around and select your top options! Pro Tip: Bring hand sanitizer and lots of napkins. The public restrooms aren't the best and shared between all market patrons. While Peter's does have napkin dispensers at seating areas you'll probably find yourself sharing a community table between 1 - 2 other families making it difficult to reach for napkins/ clean your hands. read more

Good food, cooked so simple just to highlight the fresh ingredients. Sweet Chilli Prawns, $4 each. Calamari rings ( crumbed ) and salt and pepper squid is $9.5 White bait cost you $10 but loaded full of yumminess! I can sense the lemon pepper seasoning on the whitebait. Happy with the quality read more

One of the most nicest fresh fist stores at the fish markets i've been to! Everything is all neatly packing in and dare i say clean area. I love how you can pick what sort of sashimi you want. Can get busy especially if you are waiting on purchasing some fresh fish to go eat outside in the seagull infested area lol . Prob better to do a takeway and enjoy it at home in peace and quiet away from crowds and birds! read more

When I was about 11 I remember waiting in line at Peter's to get some fish with my family and a really fat man came out and tripped and he dropped his take away container of baby octopus that he'd just purchased. He scooped it back up and he kept walking. Children die in third world countries, on the streets of our own towns and cities. Starving to death and suffering various illnesses and diseases, but I remember this incident like it was yesterday, such was the empathy I felt for this man who dropped his octopus. It was probably $8, he didn't seem to care, but it got to me, and even now as I look back to this day, my heart is heavy and I am irrationally torn up about this flustered overweight individual whose lunch graced the pavement if only for a second. I've since been back to face my demons, to expunge these feelings of sorrow and despondency, why do I care so much? Why does it hurt? I've been back, and I can't shake it. Those are the formative years. I bought some fish, and it was good fish. I took the fish from the shop without incident and I sat at a table on the grass, right by the waters edge and I ate, and I mused and I tried to decipher what it all meant. That man and his dirty octopus. Horror stories aside. They do sell some really nice fish. read more

Awesome but no seating. They need a seating policy because people who are dropping $100 on lunch have no where to sit and people carting in food from other locations or spending $10 are monopolizing the space. It's amazing but despite your investment in lunch you may need to stand and eat it. read more

The lines are long and it's difficult to find a seat if you're there at the same time as those tour bus groups. Other than that, the food is pretty good. The garlic shrimps is where it's at. read more

We had the oysters and they were absolutely amazing. The sashimi was alright but the abalone was beyond horrible, it was tough and super chewy. Service was horrendous. It was only 3.45 and they wanted to kick us out of the place like so bad because they wanted to clean up. read more

Peter's Fish Market is located at the famous Sydney Fish Markets in Pyrmont. I only tried it because my father (a seafood connoisseur) recommended it to me. It was like he was passing down a secret traditional family recipe. It has the best fish cocktails, he whispered. Sure, sure it does, Dad, I replied, humouring him. Of course I had to try it, and he didn't lead me astray. The fish cocktails were so tasty I wouldn't hesitate in suggesting that even people who don't like fish would enjoy it from Peter's. I also tried the garlic prawns, which were nice but too lukewarm for my liking, and the BBQ octopus, good flavours but a little tough. I have to reiterate that the shining light here is the fish cocktails. That, and a nice cold beer down on the wharf, is just the way I like to spend my lunchtime on a sunny Sydney day. read more

Peter's Fish Market is easy to find in the density of the fish market, with its white walls. It attracts a lot of people, so you can expect a bit of a waiting line. But in my opinion, the food is worth the wait. Peter's fish market sells beautiful fresh fish and a good variety of cooked fish. There is a sashimi stand on the right hand side for those who want raw fish. At the back, you will find a wide range of cooked fish, shells and other seafood. Customers can either select what they want individually, with fries, rice or salad on the side, or get platters to share. My family and I got platters for two. They are generously sized and garnished, and contain quite a bit of different seafoods. It's the ideal way to taste a bit of everything. Pretty much all of it was good and quite filling, except for one piece of lobster that I found a bit dry. Overall, the whole family was delighted by the food. What adds to the experience is the possibility to eat outside of the market right next to the water. Strongly recommended to seafood lovers! :) read more

Peter's - Platter for two at Peter's Fish Market - Seafood Markets Near Me - Sydney, NSW

As a native Floridian, I have quite the heart spot for seafood ... Lobster, clams, oysters, fish; if it swims or floats, I've probably tried it. Even sea cucumbers. Peter's Fish Market is the most bustling of all the seafood shops inside Sydney Fish Market. Depending on the day, I can be enticed or turned off by crowds, but on this day, the wrap around line of salivating patrons seemed to scream "Join us ... no, really!" The wait was long, about twenty minutes to order and fifteen to pick up the food, but it was peak lunchtime mayhem on a glorious summer day. And after one bite of my fish and chips, I can say that I would've waited even longer. The fish was PERFECT and moist, the breading was light, and the chips were delicious! For around $8 I experienced the best fish and chips of my life, and the portion given was huge! I sat on the grass just outside of Peter's, revelled in the sunshine, treated my taste buds, and sipped on cheap wine the people next to me were willing to share. Try Peter's ... It's divine! read more

One of the largest and most comprehensive shops inside the Sydney Fish Markets. Great selection of pretty much anything you can think/dream of! Prices are pretty much the same within the market. It may not be the cheapest but it's very convenient. read more

Pete, you slice up some nice fish. AMAZING sashimi and sushi at Peter's. There is a lot of choice at the Fish Market, but after a serious look around, I decided on getting fish from Peter's and I was not disappointed! All the prices are relatively the same. For a tuna sushi pack along with sashimi of salmon, king fish and tuna, it was about $20+. You do have to pay extra for soy sauce and wasabi... next time I'm bringing my own!!! Seating is tight. So try to get a seat first before ordering. There is nothing worse than walking around with a tray of food looking homeless. read more

Grilled seafood dishes were generally good, but overall their price setting was a bit higher than other seafood restaurants in the fish market. Experiencing the "bug" is something to try in Australia. read more

I can't say anything new that anyone else hasn't said. Yes there are a lot of tourists that come here. My husband and I were one of them. We came to Sydney on our honeymoon. The Fish market was so fresh and yummy we visited 3 separate times! many of the vendors have the same things so do a quick walk through and then go back and buy what you want. Peter's fish market had most of my favorite things to buy. Go early!!! Watch out for those pesky birds when you eat outside. We thought they only accepted cash but a few vendors accept credit card. read more

Beautiful place for seafood. Can only speak to the sashimi because that's all I got here, but it was freshly cut and prepared on the spot when you order it which was so great. Was one of the only places that still had open seating in the fish market. The fish market across the way seems to be a little cheaper, but Peter's is right in the middle of the action making it an exciting place to enjoy fresh seafood. read more

I randomly picked the Atlantic grilled salmon since everything looked good and I was not disappointed. This was one of the freshest salmon dishes I've had and it was so perfectly seasoned. The seasoning wasn't overpowering at all and you don't feel the need to add extra sauce. I did purchase a tartar sauce on the side and it wasn't even tasty but luckily I didn't feel the need for extra sauce. The huge piece of cooked fish along with with fresh fries cost only about $16 which is very good for a good meal in Sydney. Highly recommend!! read more

As we are staying only a couple of streets away from the fish market, we knew we had to try something there to check what the fuss was all about! We walked around the Market for about 20 minutes on a very busy lunch time Saturday, checking every shops and menus and settled for the crowded Peter's mainly because it was one of the few shops offering other options than 'fried-everything' (really, what's the point of eating fresh seafood in a fish market if it's to drown all the taste and freshness under batter and oil!). We went for the grilled lobster which was deliciously delicious, perfectly grilled and melting. Bonus point for the sauce on the salad, lemony vinaigrette, only one word: Mmmh! You can actually buy any fish from their shop and have them cook it for you... Which means that I've just found my excuse to come back soon and try again! Seating are scarce on a busy day (be ready to fight if you actually want to sit) and seagulls are hungry for whatever you are having (so keep waving your arms around) but other than that you should be fine, enjoying it ;-) read more

I loved the setup of the place. You can see all the seafood in one place. Either you take home or eat it there, everything is fresh. It is a must visit. read more

We had been to this place yesterday and found all seafood products were so nice or nicer than those Chinese girls behind the counter. Those Chinese were never be trained to place there to serve Chinese tourists from mainland China. I ordered a steam fish and turned out to be a fried fish. I talked to the cashier that was not a steamed fish. She could not distinguish a fried or steamed fish and said that is a steamed fish. (I am quite sure she knew, but the mentality was rooted in this way) When the cooker came and admitted that was his mistake and promised to redo it. It looked like we had a good solution by then. We waited for another 30 minutes and went there to pick up the fish. The girl would not hand over the fish to me and ask me to pick up it behind their counter which is staff area. What kind service that Peter Fish Market had trained them. We come for a good experience with no less money than any good restaurants in Sydney, but treated like beggers. I really feel sorry for those bus loaded Chinese tourists who paid quite lot of money for the seafood experience but treated like dinning in a refugee's camp. read more
