Busy but not crazy. Easy free street parking within 5 mins walk.
Old market had more charm, this one feels like a new shopping centre with Darling Harbour ICC vibes.
Expensive as you might have heard.. salmon nigiri selling as 'singles' for $3.50 each.
At Broadway now for lunch.
Tourists will love it though.

I think it’s great.
Much, much nicer than the old one.
I’ll visit again at night time, it was a bit too hot when I was there. The area outside, right next to the water is very cool.
Not enough parking. Too expensive.
Hope your enjoy the view at the food court at Broadway shopping centre!
“At Broadway now for lunch.”
The most damning review tbh
I went yesterday. I didn’t think the old market had any any charm at all. 😂
The new market looks great. Nothing is cheap. That said I enjoyed the experience and will definitely go often.
Yes food cheap in broadway food court.
I went by bus. 389 to Harris street.
How was the quality of the sushi?
Also why not lunch there?
Went there yesterday and the things I didn’t like, not enough public tables and only one block of toilets for male and female, the could have put another one next to parents room
Good summary, thanks for sharing!
I think it looks great, the old one was so shit and by relative standards to other first world fish markets, it was horrible and needed an upgrade
The new one has much more space for foot traffic (ignoring how many people there are because it just opened, there’ll be less people in a month)
In the old one, walking from the boatshed to the back such as the deli was absolutely horrendous, unless you like to walk around in grimy claustrophobic shitholes
Also just be smart where you eat lmao, the rent for the old retailers are the same so none of their prices have changed, people keep complaining about the price after seeing one or two pricy restaurants (sushi train/pizza/bahn mi), unless if it was too expensive before for you in which case it’ll still be expensive because nothing has changed for the other retailers
This isn’t aimed towards you OP but to all the other whiny wankers who love to complain all day
It’s a tourist trap like any other.
People are saying that the food is expensive at the new fish markets, but thus far I have not heard anything about whether you can still get fish & chips from the various fishmongers, like you used to be able to from half of the ones in the old fish markets.
Are birds stealing food like at the old one?
I was doing the 389 service yesterday and I’ve never had so many people ask for the fish markets 😂 I think they may need to consider additional services from Townhall to Pyrmont on the weekends because every trip I did was crammed full with two trips having to leave people behind. People seem to prefer to take the bus from Townhall instead of walking down to capital for the light rail.
