Isn't Sydney Fish Market a tourist trap thingy

They're knocking it down, happily. Awful joint. Imagine traveling interstate or to another continent and thinking "I'll go and have a look at some dead fish. That'll be fun." You'd have to have an empty head.

Really **** part-time spinners bowling the first over in T20s has been a thing for a while. Theory is you sneak a free over out of them while the batsmen are hesitant to go too hard. So if you get 0-6 it's a win.

Aye, I recall seeing it as far back as the '92 WC. I recall NZL opening the bowling with an offie.

Don't be so unkind about our champagne socialist.

Genuinely the laziest, most inane line of argument in humanity.

All the best produce actually comes from frozen imports which I get tricked into paying 20 times the markup for.

No, it's a terrible joint. The produce there is no better or fresher than that which you get at any other seafood retailer in the metropolitan area.

always felt theres a bit of novelty to the place itself though that makes it an experience, like going to paddy's markets

But it's literally two acres of dead, mostly frozen fish.

You know, at Paddy's markets you might get some clothes, some cheap toys for the kids to choke on, a new phone case or whatever.

But the fish markets is literally about 15 vendors all selling the same produce at the same (inflated) price. It's the Montmartre tourist portrait rip off of food.

I go there for the oysters, but yeah they're no cheaper or fresher than what you can get anywhere else. It just has a nice feel to it..

 

[Shady Slim]

burgey unable to appreciate the subtle pleasures of being in a giant warehouse filled with dead seafood

 

[cnerd123]

Not surprised Burgey's weak colon can't tolerate being around fresh seafood

 

[Burgey]

Not surprised your weak brain can’t contemplate seafood is the most over rated produce on the planet tbh

Important distinction between fish (delicious) and other seafood (not delicious), IMO.

Surely there are good seafood places in the Far North?

There have been some bad food takes on this forum, these are right up there with them

Oysters are like the best food on earth. Acquired taste though

Oysters are disgusting.

They're divisive for sure. Those who love them understand the appeal
