Seafood Market About

Want to know what fish is on special this week? Or what fish is running and in season? It's SO EASY TO BE GREEN, just check the market's website here and you can find out what's on sale before heading out the door! You can also find recipes and how to identify, cook and store fish; the website is a virtual font of handy fishy info! Additionally, the site offers an email newsletter packed with restaurant and cookbook reviews, articles on specific seafood species and food and wine news.

Only ONE of the retailers, the diversity of seafood available at Peter's is displayed in long, winding glass cases around the shop.

At the Sydney Fish Markets, the purveyors aren't just all seafood retailers. One can pick up fresh made bread at Gregory's, some fabulous lavender cheese or buttery cheddar at the Blackwattle Deli, there is a green grocer there with all the fruit and veggies to complete any meal and of course, a tackle shop too. You can see the list of all the fish market retailers and restaurants here.

In Australia, you can actually buy prawns with the well-flavored heads still attached. Try and find THAT in an American grocery. How else does one make a seafood stock if the prawns have no heads?

Finally, the fish market also offers an on-premise seafood cooking school that is absolutely outstanding. La Diva went there herself a few years back and learned how to make a DIVINE seafood laksa! The school offers a variety of classes for the beginner to advanced cook and boasts a number of cooking styles: Paella or stir fry or how about an intensive weekend workshop with one of Sydney's leading chefs? Sigh, I sure do miss this place...
Bugs are funky, little pre-historic crustaceans that are like small lobsters...of course, they are succulent and sweet!
When one shops for seafood in Florida, you would think our seas are only swimming with yellowtail snapper, grouper, Key West pink shrimp and gulf oysters! Considering that Florida is a peninsula surrounded by the sea, La Diva is absolutely certain that our waters have more variety than that. So why is it that unless you own a restaurant, the average cook here in Florida does not see the huge assortment and selection of seafood species like they do in other parts of the world? If any of you Florida readers have an answer, I would certainly like to know!
