Awesome seafood,so delicious, lots of selection and reasonably priced, friendly service
This place probably has the best fish and chips in the whole fish market. Generous portions of crispy beer battered fish and the chips are super crunchy. The fish and chips from two other places that I’ve tried at the market are soggy and stale. This place also provides tartare sauce for you so don’t have to worry about paying for sauce!

Doyles are renowned across Australia for their premium seafood 🐟🐙🦐. Established in 1885, five generations of the Doyles family have been setting the standard for seafood restaurants, with 3 prime locations in Sydney.
At @SydneyFishMarket there are 6 types of oysters on display that you can choose to taste, 4 of which being the famous Sydney rock (SR) oysters, harvested from different regions. The SR oyster 🐚 is a species endemic to Australia and New Zealand. Despite the name they are not found in Sydney but rather in bays, inlets and sheltered estuaries from eastern VIC, along the east coast of NSW and up to southern QLD. The SR is characterised by its deep, rich and lasting sweetness.
______
. Bundabah SR 1⃣ hits you straight away with the intense umami and possesses a firm texture.
. Bruny Island 2⃣ is less firm, milder in taste but much creamier.
. Lemon Tree Passage SR 3⃣ is also rather mild but sweeter than Bundabah.
. Moulting Bay 4⃣ is the strongest tasting as it's super smokey and high in mineral intensity.
. Quibray Bay SR 5⃣ is a mixture of fresh, soft, sweet and creamy, my favourite!
. Camden Haven 6⃣ has a rich flavour, not too milky but with super sweet and soft flesh.

Doyles shell these singularly or by the dozen, so go wild!
Fun fact: Oysters change sex during their lifetime. They start out as males and later change to females 👦🔜👧. One way to keep the population going I guess?
Came from Melbourne for a friends wedding, had to try this place as we watched a video on youtube Worth It saying its a great oyster place, tried their Turess Lake oysters and it was delicious, shucked upon ordering, the flavour of the oyster taste like fresh sea water and extremely fresh flesh, something you have to try to understand the flavour. Not sure why their ratings are very low at the moment, maybe zomato needs to open a separate file called Doyles Oyster Bar, worth a try if you're in Seafood Market in Sydney.
Seafood is always fresh and delicious. Excellent seating area that is always clean and lots of open air flowing through so it doesn't smell damp and smelly like the other internal places. Absolutely love the oyster bar, it changed me from being someone that dislikes oysters to love them as they are so fresh! These people really know what they are doing I recommend the fresh cold seafood over the cooked ones even though their grill is tasty it's a bit over priced. Well worth the visit though!
This place is always the best place for tourist to come and eat! ❤️☺️🙌🏻. It was fulfilling and the food was too good to be true!! 👏🏻👏🏻😍😍
We went around 2 pm on Good Friday and despite it being the busiest day of the year, we managed to get a seat and the wait was pretty reasonable considering the throngs of people (and we were able to eat a dozen beautiful Sydney rock oysters and drink wine while we waited. We ordered the lobster platter which was plentiful and delicious and very reasonably priced. Would definitely return (perhaps at a less busier time)
So much seafood! Lunch in Sydney.., oysters, scallops...
Amazing fresh seafood and beautiful setting.
Drinks to enjoy and a glorious setting.
Oysters were large, plump and unbelievably fresh. However I wouldn't say they are any better than oysters from another stall. The grilled octopus was a slight disappointment. The meat wasn't very tender. In fact it was rather tough and chewy. They were well-seasoned though.
It was my very first time at the Sydney Fish Market and it was a pleasant experience. Though a little busy, I especially liked they had cleaners frequenting the a4ea incase if there's a vacant but dirty table, they'd wipe it down immediately without being asked.
We had the platter, eel, scallops, abalone and fresh salmon (which was not as cold as preferred) but majority of the seafood is quite tasty and fresh! I really enjoyed it here, does get a little expensive as there's so many good eats!
I just feel surprised that this place actually got a such low mark...the oyster this place have I can even gave a 5/5!
Freshly sucked without tap water diluted. Full of sea flavor. Many option to choose from, from sydney rock to giant pacific oyster.
During the peak time, it has long queue because they open the oysters you picked in front of you.
A must in sydney Fish market if you eat oysters
We really enjoyed our lunch here. The fish was fresh, certainly no frills but good food served promptly. On our visit there were plenty of people waiting for tables which did make having a casual lunch a bit uncomfortable.
Doyle's seems to use more local seafood than most places at the markets. It's pretty basic dining but has its own casual eating area with some views over the bay. The food was good and the platters are good value. It's nothing fancy but a good choice if you want to eat at the markets.
The Sydney Fish Markets is the world’s third largest fish market and a Sydney icon. Dating back to 1945 it has been the place to come for the freshest seafood in town. Whilst it is always busy, it is a great place to bring little ones because of all the fun and excitement of watching fishmongers at work and live seafood on display.
Had lunch here and ordered the Seafood platter for 2, Corona and a Rose' wine. The Seafood here tasted fresh and the batter used was light and crisp. The oysters and scallops were excellent and not fishy at all. The octopus was on the chewy side and the calamari was bland on its own so you'll need to have it with tartare sauce. The fish cocktails were delicious but it only came with 3 which was a little bit disappointing. The only thing you'll need to be aware of is that they do have card surcharges (1.1%) and the lines are long so you will have to wait for your food and drinks. Furthermore finding a table is extremely difficult during peak times too. Also the floors and tables are a bit dirty because of how busy it is.
it can get a little busy here and you might need to wait a for a while getting a table... also depends on your luck with the timing of ur arrival. food... as usual... is deliciously cooked. but beware sitting outside at the front... though the rubbish disposal container might seem far enough... depends on the wind direction... you might get a whiff of garbage smell coming from the container... as it is being used by the shops around throughout the whole day... and again... depends on ur luck. =)
The portions were a good size and had good flavor. We tried three types of prawns, two scallops and some John Dory fish that came with five pieces. One Greek salad and a house salad filled in the rest of the cracks in our appetite. It's been 34 years since we've been to Doyles ( last time at Watson's Bay).
Best choice for Oysters fans.
Oyster quality is very good. I had ordered Sydney rock in different shops at the same day. Doyles one is the best and also the most expensive. But it is worth the price.
Also the customer service is partient when answering the question and giving advice.
Grilled seafood is not bad. Good to try.
Last but not least, the environment is clean and cozy too.
Walked in just before lunchtime so it wasn’t too busy yet. Staff were really friendly and helpful, great service. Had the barbecue grilled platter for 2 and a lobster mornay - loved them both and would be glad to swing by again.
I would like to try all the different lobster options: garlic, xo, Singaporean chilli etc.
The place was starting to get busy when we finished so highly recommend coming slightly earlier to avoid crowds.
