Who we are

The Sydney Fish Market (SFM) in Glebe is the southern hemisphere’s largest fish market, one of Australia’s most visited attractions, and the beating heart of the nation’s seafood industry. A-once-in-a-generation precinct that redefines retail, dining, and visitor experience on Sydney’s waterfront.

Sydney Seafood School (SSS) , located at the new Sydney Fish Market, is Australia’s leading seafood cooking school. We hold regular cooking classes for the public, for private groups and wonderful private catered events in our space overlooking Blackwattle Bay.

Employed on a casual basis, our Assistants are a valued and tight-knit team and collectively the DNA of Sydney Seafood School.
