Christie's Seafood Excellence - Pyrmont

Going to Sydney Fishmarket, I wasn't sure which shop to choose... But my father wanted to eat nice Oysters so were recommended this place which was first shop on the left going in... Turned out the place had everything... Oysters with small, medium, large sizes and prices are very affordable, i prefer the smaller size but my father really enjoyed the larger ones... Salmon sashimi was superb... calamari and few other smaller dishes were great... Tried the Unagi too... Next time i would probably skip the fish and chips though... My wife loves the crabs so it was nice variety for all of us... For people coming from overseas the waiters are mostly Asian so they can speak mandarin, cantonese, and some also Indonesian...

Just make it before they close for the day! Not very crowded and can enjoy food leisurely. My No.1 choice at fish market for lobster and oysters

One of the earliest outlets in fish mkt to offer tank to plate cooked lobsters, crabs, fish, basically anything you see in their tanks, you pay and they will happily cook the way you want it. Plenty of sauces on offer though more to asian tastes (think singapore chilli crab, sweet and sour, ginger and shallots, black pepper and the like). You want noodles with your cooked lobster? No problem sir. You want spaghetti with your crabs? Errr, not today sir. <br/ <br/ Of course nowadays the other seafood outlets in fish mkt have followed suit, i still find meself drawn to good ol christies for its cooked to order crabby paddy. Point, crab on the scale, GASP at the price, pay up and look forward to kisses from my missus whenever i surprise her with her fav. <br/ <br/ Give christies a go peeps. Ps. Try their freshly shucked oysters while you wait.

Finally, we gathered a big group so we can have cook to order fresh live crab in the Fish Market! Today our meal is a giant mud crab and cooked ginger shallot sauce with noodles. The crab tastes juicy and tender we are very happy with it. The only downside is the service, no enough napkins tools provided. A good but relatively expensive meal experience.

The freshest salmon and scallop sashimi I have ever had in my life. I can't say whether it's better than other places at the market because this was the only place I got sashimi from.
