The NSW Government is reimagining our iconic site and the surrounding Bays Precinct, to create a Sydney Fish Market for the future with world-class facilities; Sydney's most significant harbourside building since the Opera House.
The new Sydney Fish Market (set to open in 2025) will attract global attention, with visitation expected to double to over 6 million people annually.
Designed by renowned architects 3XN, who worked with Sydney firms BVN and Aspect Studios, the facility will be a purpose built, authentic operating fish market, and a major food and dining attraction on Sydney’s inner harbour. The design is a world class piece of architecture, with a distinctive wave-shaped and scale-patterned roof that pays homage to the fishing industry.
Sydney Fish Market is more than a fish market; we are Australia's Home of Seafood... the lifeblood of the seafood industry. Thus, the new Market represents not only a state-of-the-art waterfront icon, but also a $750 million injection of support into the national seafood industry. This building presents an invaluable opportunity for Sydney Fish Market to transform operations and deliver an expanded business model, that leverages this significant investment from the NSW Government to strengthen pride in the Australian seafood industry.
