Fresh from the Ocean to Your Plate

Harbour-view dining, sustainable seafood takeaway, and bespoke catering in the heart of Sydney.

Our Story

Steps away from the Circular Quay ferry wharf, Southern Shore Seafood marries coastal heritage with contemporary Australian cuisine. Since opening in 2008, our chefs greet the sunrise at the Sydney Fish Market, hand-selecting the day’s catch from trusted local fishers and oyster farmers. The result is an ocean-to-table experience where each dish bursts with the character of New South Wales waters and the season’s bounty.

  • Daily dawn selections straight from Pyrmont Market.
  • Award-winning wine list curated for delicate seafood pairings.
  • Panoramic harbour views from every table—sunset is a local favourite.
  • Dedicated gluten-free and vegan seafood innovations, including tempura-battered banana blossom ‘fish’.
