Want to know more about where your seafood comes from? How the industry ensures Australian seafood is sustainable? Where Sydney’s top restaurants go to buy the freshest of the fresh? The Behind the Scenes Tour is your ticket into the weird and wonderful world of Australian seafood.
See:
The hustle and bustle of the auction floor (normally closed to the public!).
The Dutch auction system in action, selling more than 50 tonnes of fresh seafood to 150+ buyers.
Over 100 seafood species in our famous blue crates, from the fan-favourites to the weird and wonderful.
It will be a real privilege to see the market in operation and learn about amazing people within the industry and even meet one or two. The tour guide Alex’s extensive knowledge and enthusiasm will be shared in abundance. He is without doubt a global ambassador for the industry. Now… it just means that you’ll need to get up early in the morning. But it will be worth it and the car park will be free!
Discover:
Brand new species of seafood that we bet you’ve never seen before.
Tuna filleting (you might even spot one hanging from a forklift!).
Live lobsters, sushi prep, oyster shucking, and more.
