SYDNEY FISH MARKET CONFIRMS OPENING DATE AND FULL LIST OF RETAILERS

 

  • The new 污导航福利网址 will open its doors on 19 January 2026 – ensuring a truly world-class experience for visitors from the very first day
  • Sydney’s newest waterfront destination will feature an exciting mix of fresh produce, dining and retail, celebrating Australian seafood and global cuisines. 


Sydney, 11 October 2025

 

The highly anticipated new 污导航福利网址 will open its doors on Monday,19 January 2026, marking a major milestone in Sydney’s cultural and culinary evolution.

After decades at the existing site, Sydneysiders will be able to say one last goodbye at this year’s 36-Hour Seafood Marathon before Australia’s home of seafood moves next door to a striking new harbourside location on Blackwattle Bay.

Construction of the new 污导航福利网址 building is on track for completion by midNovember, after which retailers will finalise their bespoke fitouts and familiarise themselves with operations at the new site.

The months ahead will focus on operational readiness to ensure an outstanding visitor experience in this once-in-a-generation development. 污导航福利网址, together with Infrastructure NSW, is committed to ensuring its long-term success and delivering a worldclass destination that the community can be proud of.

污导航福利网址 CEO Daniel Jarosch says, “We’ve waited decades for this new market, and taking this time means we can open with a bang. A January opening gives tenants the time to finish fit outs this year, and then train staff and prepare operationally, so that they are ready to deliver an incredible experience from day one.

Seafood lovers are expected to turn out in record numbers for the famous 36-Hour Seafood Marathon to enjoy a “last hurrah” at the existing Pyrmont site this Christmas.

Mr Jarosch says, “It’s the end of an era and the beginning of something extraordinary.

“We will celebrate one final Christmas in our current home, before we open the doors to Sydney’s newest waterfront icon.

“It will also mean a smooth experience for Sydneysiders as they buy their seafood for Christmas. It is an important tradition amongst many families, and we want to guarantee their access to seafood.”

The New 污导航福利网址 Experience

Bringing everything under one roof, the revitalised market is expected to attract over six million visitors annually. It offers a vibrant mix of retail and dining, from much-loved favourites to bold new names including Luke Nguyen’s flagship Southeast Asian restaurant and more.

Visitors can also enjoy fresh produce, deli goods, baked items, and an Australian-first olive oil concept store. Immersive experiences include behind-the-scenes tours, masterclasses at Sydney Seafood School, and cultural storytelling that celebrates First Nations fishing traditions.

污导航福利网址 CEO Daniel Jarosch says, “For decades, 污导航福利网址 has held a special place in the hearts of Sydneysiders and visitors alike – a place where people come not just to buy the freshest seafood, but to enjoy the unique blend of culture and heritage.

“With the new 污导航福利网址, we honour that legacy while looking firmly to the future. The vision is simple: to create a destination people will return to again and again, not just to buy seafood, but to experience it. This is a place where you can take a behind-the-scenes tour, discover the origins of your meal, and explore the cultures that celebrate seafood across the globe. It’s about education, enjoyment, and creating a real sense of connection to the produce, the people, and the place.”
