Forget the golf balls, wireless chargers, and yet another pair of socks. This Father’s Day, treat dad to something a little more memorable from Sydney Fish Market.
From seafood tours and hands-on cooking classes to a cookbook packed with flavour — it’s all here. Trust us, you’ll find something that actually surprises and delights him.
Sydney Fish Market Tours:
Is your dad curious about the weird and wonderful world of Australian seafood? Then a voucher to a Sydney Fish Market Tour might be just the thing. He can test his seafood knowledge alongside one of our expert guides as they explore the market. Bonus points if you tag along with him!
There are three tours to choose from:
Behind The Scenes Tour: perfect for early risers who want a sneak peek at the auction floor and to get up close and personal with unique seafood species.
Morning Walking Tour: for those who want to explore the market’s famous retailers while learning how to shop for seafood like a pro.
Taste of SFM Tour: for foodies who want to sample the season’s best produce at each one of our amazing retailers.
Grab your Dad a ticket here.
Boatshed Gifts:
If your dad’s the first one up and rallying the troops for an early trip to the market, head to Boatshed Gifts for all the gear he never knew he needed. Think crab crackers, cooler bags to keep his seafood fresh, premium knives, and SFM-branded tees and jumpers for the market devotee. Grab a gift that’s a little fun and a little practical. Check out the full range in-store next time you visit.
A Fish For All Seasons:
Is dad crafty in the kitchen? Our official cookbook, A Fish For All Seasons, is filled with over 100 delicious recipes focused on under-loved and lesser-known seafood species. It’s organised by season and includes handy species swaps in case you want to try something different. Whether he’s a beginner or seafood aficionado, it’s packed with recipe inspo. Grab a copy here.
Cooking Class at Sydney Seafood School:
Spend some quality time together and level up at Sydney Seafood School. There’s a class to suit every taste. Here are some choices we think he’ll love:
Slice and dice like a pro: Learn how to handle and prep seafood in Seafood Specialist, Fillet-A-Fish, or The Raw and The Cured: Sashimi Workshop. Or wield a wok like a seasoned pro in a Singapore Chilli Mud Crab class.
Fire Up The BBQ: Get grilling in Seafood BBQ or BBQ Master (if your dad already considers himself a barbecue pro). Or try your hand at Sunday BBQ, a class that draws on flavours and recipes from a wide range of cuisines to reflect the diversity of Aussie food culture.
Explore Global Flavours: Create one of the world’s most famous seafood dishes with Spanish Paella, learn how to tell your gochugaru from your gochujang in Seoul Food: Taste of Korea class, or take a trip around the med with Mediterranean Odyssey.
