Sydney Fish Market was established by the NSW Government in 1945.  From 1945 until 1999, the selling of seafood in NSW was regulated by the Government and all seafood landed in NSW was required to be sold through the NSW Fish Marketing Authority.  In 1994, Sydney Fish Market became a privately owned company (50% by the Catchers Trust NSW and 50% by Sydney Fish Market Tenants and Merchants Pty Ltd) and in 1999, the marketing or selling of seafood was deregulated, meaning seafood no longer had to be sold through the Market in Sydney.

Today, Sydney Fish Market employs approximately 57 staff to organise the weekday wholesale Auction, promote Sydney Fish Market as the centre of seafood excellence and the only destination to buy and sell seafood,promote the site as a tourist location and a place to buy Sydney's freshest seafood and is the home of Sydney Seafood School.
