Please bring a pen if you wish to make notes, and it's a good idea (for safety) to wear enclosed shoes with non-slip soles. We also suggest brining a container for leftovers.

We’ll provide:

• A recipe kit
• Top quality ingredients
• All equipment
• An apron
• And, we'll validate your parking pass

Up to 60 guests per class, but you’ll be cooking in smaller groups of 4-6. Book a full bench of 6 and take advantage of our Book-6-Pay-For-4 offer!

Sydney Seafood School is not licensed for guests to bring their own wine, however we do provide a complimentary wine tasting with the meal at each class.

We also have a house riesling and pinot noir, and craft beer available to pre-order when booking or for purchase at the class.

Note: It is against the law to sell or supply alcohol to, or obtain alcohol for, anyone under 18.

All our classes are structured in the same way: the first half is a live cooking demonstration and the second half is a hands-on cooking experience, working in groups of 4-6, where you recreate the demonstrated dish(es). Then, sit down and enjoy them (with a complimentary wine tasting) at the end of the class.

Parking is available in the Sydney Fish Market car park - enter the car park from Bank St.

Parking for Sydney Seafood School guests is free - please bring your parking ticket to the class to have it validated.

There are 4 - 6 people on each workstation.

Sydney Seafood School is located at Sydney Fish Market, Pyrmont (car park entrance off Bank St), on the 1st Floor of the Waterfront Arcade.

Enter the Waterfront Arcade from the car park. Just past the entrance, on the left, there are double glass doors (opposite Doyle’s Restaurant), go through the doors and upstairs, turnleft at the top of the stairs.

In case of emergency please phone 02 9004 1141 for directions.

It is a good idea to bring your confirmation email to the class (or at least have it available on your phone), although it is not essential.

Our guest chefs like to present seasonal recipes, so recipe details are often not available until close to the class date.  You can get an idea of a guest chef's style of cooking by the profiles on our Guest Presenters page

We recommend booking 3 weeks in advance for weekend classes, and up to 2 weeks for weeknight classes. However some very popular classes do sell out quickly and there are sometimes places still available on short notice for others - so it's always worth checking.

You can view our current schedule and see which classes are already full here. 

Most bookings may be changed at least 3 business days before the class date by calling 02 9004 1111 or emailing sss@sydneyfishmarket.com.au. Changing to a higher-priced class will require payment of the fee difference and there is no refund for changing to a lower-priced class.

Changes within 3 business days of the class date, or to classes booked using a discount or promotional code, are not permitted, but you are welcome to send another person in your place.

• Guests aged 15 years and older are welcome to attend a class unaccompanied - maybe we'll inspire the next generation of top chefs!
• Children aged 12-14 years old can come to a class with an accompanying adult - and our team will be on hand to provide a little extra assistance during the hands-on cooking session.
• You can still bring kids 11 years or younger to a class, but you'll need to book as a group of 6 (and take advantage of our Book-For-6-Pay-For-4 offer on any class!).

Often, yes we can.

Some classes are gluten-free or dairy-free, and we are also happy to discuss how your hands-on cooking experience can be modified to cater for dietary requirements. If you book as a group of 6 (for the price of 4) there's even more flexibility.

If you have a dietary requirement, please give us a call on 02 9004 1111 prior to making a booking, and we can advise suitable classes or class modifications for you.
