Excursion to Sydney Fish Markets

On the 29th of May 2009, the commercial cookery students ventured to the Fish Markets in Pyrmont, Sydney. Whilst at the Fish Markets, the students participated in a tour of the Sydney Seafood School, where they were shown training opportunities and offered to join the School.
They went on to tour the Fish Market floor, where the stock is bought in for wholesale to the public. Whilst on the floor, they experienced first hand a fish auction. They are auctioned using a Dutch auction system, and each day the Markets are open, over 2500 crates of produce are sold, or approximatly 50 tonnes.
