Join us in our latest Sydney podcast on a stroll through the Sydney Fish Market. We join Alex one of the fish market tour guides whom we meet excitedly admiring a fish as the sun rises across Blackwattle Bay.
Alex, who has been recently featured in Time out explains The Sydney Fish Market is open every day, except Christmas day.
The Sydney Fish Market is also one of the most diverse markets on the globe and could be just second after Tokyo's Tsukiji fish market, famous for its astounding display of seafood and the pre-dawn tuna auctions

A touch on the Dutch Auction system
In the first part one of our podcast interview with Alex, he explains how now the selling and buying of fish runs of a Dutch Auction. Also, that technically for auction fans it's an open descending price auction. Auction prices even start at the three-to Five dollar price range above the data price per kilo.
Buyers come from across the Asia-Pacific region who sometimes have less than a few seconds to make a decision. The auction floor can have over 100-plus varieties of shellfish and fish on any given day.
Cullen made his way carefully onto the auction floor, with his guide carefully steering him through the hundreds of new crates of fish and seafood among the ice and the exciting sounds of constant clicks made during the bidding on the keypads of all of the other bidders.

Chilled somewhat by the early morning thaw after Cullen’s extensive tour we join Alex again where he shares his love of fishing and some of his “pretty much foolproof tips on cooking fish”.

He then shares his perfect standing roast recipe for a fabulous fish dish, so the fins go crispy a great secret straight from the marketplace.
He gives us great tips on what to try to around this time of the year and shares with us a cheeky story about the best part of any fish.
Alex also advises Cullen to dig deep and to trust our instincts when choosing fish and seafood by “getting something that appeals to you”.
And he shares his most valuable insight into the best lunch at the fish market as one of the ultimate foodie meals in Sydney and perhaps fact across the country.
