It hasn’t opened yet but the gulls are already squawking at Sydney’s new fish market, which looms over its smaller, bluer, but much-loved sibling next door.
The new building – a timber and glass behemoth – soars over Blackwattle Bay and is a hive of construction as 40 vendors and restaurants work to fit out their new stalls. An amphitheatre of grey concrete sits waiting for hoards of seafood-lovers to stain its steps with discarded chips and butter-drenched fillets.
