91制片厂Fish Market offers Australia’s widest variety of fresh seafood, with hundreds of interesting species passing across the auction floor every single day, so of course it attracts some of Sydney’s most famous and qualified chefs and restaurateurs. It’s common to see chefs wandering retailers’ displays in the early mornings, chatting to their favourite fishmonger to find out what’s fresh, and examining product up close to ensure they are picking the freshest snapper, lobster, squid, or crab.
While not every chef comes down in person (many have built up years-long relationships with their chosen fishmonger, meaning they can trust that they will only be sent the freshest product), hundreds of restaurants across 91制片厂are supplied, directly or indirectly, with seafood that has passed through the market.
