NSW Gov

The new Sydney Fish Market is expected to have its biggest day of trade to date as operators prepare for more than 60,000 visitors on Good Friday.

Across the Easter long weekend, approximately 650 tonnes of seafood is expected to be sold - including 100 tonnes of prawns and nearly one million oysters.

To manage the demand, fishmongers and retail stores will have extended hours opening from 5.00am on Friday.

Adding to the holiday atmosphere there will also be visits from the Easter Bunny from 10am to 12pm on Good Friday and 11am to 2pm on Easter Sunday.

The new Sydney Fish Market has all your Easter feast needs bringing together Sydney's finest seafood specialists, gourmet providores, fresh produce vendors and specialty food retailers.

Alongside premium seafood, Mayfarm Flowers offers farm fresh flowers, Olivetta has limited edition Easter boxes and Blackwattle Deli stocks everything for an Easter feast.

Limited-edition treats on offer, include Cow & The Moon's hot-cross brioche filled with house-made gelato and Stitch Coffee's White Rabbit chocolate bar, created in partnership with local chocolatier South Pacific Cacao. For a special Easter dining experience, Ichié has teamed up with Christie's Seafood for a live lobster offer, with chefs preparing lobster one of three ways - sashimi, stir-fry or deep-fried.

More than 100 seafood species will be available across the long weekend, including Easter staples like prawns and oysters to seasonal standouts including Yellowtail Kingfish, Ocean Perch, Mullet and Gould's Squid.

Sydney Fish Market's restaurants are also ready to serve up fresh flavours and Easter cheer across the long weekend. From casual bites to sit-down feasts and festive cocktails, diners can taste the very best local produce while enjoying the best harbour views.
