Sydney Fish Market

This is one of those places that we have wanted to go to for awhile. Ray thought it would be a nice short walk.  But notice the photos.  Walking......still walking......  Ray's a man with vision. That's what I love about him.  He knows where he wants to go, just doesn't count on all the detours and deadends that get in the way of his ultimate goal, therefore, taking him twice as long to get there (and that seems to be OUR life story).    Luckily a young Aussie boy was outside playing in his yard and was able to give us some real directions.  But hey, if we had taken public transportation like I suggested we wouldn't have seen that part of Sydney.  ;-)  Anyway, I'm glad we can now cross the fish market off our list of places to visit.   I don't think we will return even with public transport!  There were many warehouses filled with shops and restaurants but we didn't find it any cheaper than Paddy's.   We ended up buying a seafood platter which included baby octopi, clams, squid rings (like onion rings, but not fried), cod, and skewered prawns on a bed of chips (french fries).   The Octopi were not too bad but not something I would eat again, the texture being a bit of a turn off with the suction cups on their tentacles.   The squid was kind of rubbery,  the prawns were pretty good.  Hanna and Emma were the only two to try the cream cheese clams and they really liked those.  Overall, I think Ray and Hanna enjoyed the seafood the most!  Tessa wouldn't touch it, she felt like throwing up just looking at it.  Marra spent her time under the table taking photos.
