It’s no secret that I love markets: they are often the best place to sample cheap fresh food and local delicacies. That’s why I was so happy when I heard about the Sydney Fish Market.
The market was quite similar to the one in Santiago, although slightly less busy and more organized, illustrating the expected difference between the Latin and the British cultures. Or should I say the Chinese culture? Half of the stalls were Chinese and offered both traditional fish & chips along with sweet chili octopus. Talk about a globalized world!
Seafood and shellfish looked remarkably fresh and varied, with crabs, octopus, scallops, lobsters, and dozens of different kinds of fish. Great place for lunch!

Yum!
So which of these places
stinkedsmelled more? 😀The crabs and lobsters look so beautiful! You wont like our wet markets here though. It’s so smelly, and often dirty! That’s why I don’t frequent there. It’s been years since I last went to one.
I also love to visit market when I travel to another country. This is the place to see local culture in action.
@Em – Yep, I had a great fish & chips!
@Priyank – 😆 Actually, the one in Sydney didn’t smell at all, I found that disappointing!
@kyh – Oh, I’ve been to Chinese markets, I know what you are talking about!
@khengsiong – Exactly! Markets often a good glimpse of the culture.
Nice fish! Being a seafood fan, I love visiting fish markets as well. This one reminds me of Seattle’s Pike Place Market, where fish are flying from stalls to another!
