For the to do list

A super fun activity while on a trip to Sydney would be checking out the fish market tour (http://www.sydneyfishmarket.com/). I’m a big fan of fish markets and always end up taking too many photos there. For twenty buckaroos you can go on the behind the scenes tour at the ungodly hour of six or seven (can’t remember exactly, was still mostly sleeping at that point). So you get to see the auction while it’s happening and everything. Sydney’s market is the second largest in the southern hemisphere after Tokyo; according to our tour guide the Tokyo market sells in a day what Sydney sells in a week; crazy…can’t wait to see that one day. It was good fun, learned a little about fish and got to see lots of people shuffling around with giant tubs of fish…and for an enclosed space full of the fishies it was remarkably not smelly at all.

Auction board thingy…

Ok…onto more fun photos of eatables

This dude was so cool…but a tip from our guide; don’t buy the oysters that have been rinsed out like that..most of the fish shops in the market do it

The room of never-ending giant tuna

Intense dude

As you leave, be careful you’re not being stalked by the giant pelican who wants your loot
