Want to know more about where your seafood comes from? How the industry ensures Australian seafood is sustainable? Where Sydney's top restaurants go to buy the freshest of the fresh?

Sydney Fish Market's Behind the Scenes Tour is your ticket into the weird and wonderful world of Australian seafood.

The hustle and bustle of the auction floor normally closed to the public! The Dutch auction system in action, selling more than 50 tonnes of fresh seafood to 150 plus buyers. Over 100 seafood species in SFM's famous blue crates, from the fan-favourites to the weird and wonderful.

Brand new species of seafood that you've never seen before. Tuna filleting, you might even spot one hanging from a forklift! Live lobsters, sushi prep, oyster shucking, and more.

SFM's Tour Guide Alex Stollznow is a passionate fisherman and cook who has been fishing for most of his life, and would much rather be in his kayak than anywhere else.

For the last nine years he has been the resident tour guide, and you can most often find him on SFM's auction floor, chatting to fishers, scientists, buyers, chefs, and the public. Alex is also the star of all of SFM's social media videos, that's right, he's big on TikTok!
