Sydney's Fish Market

One of the places that opens early in Sydney is the Fish Market.  You can sign up for a behind the scene tour for $20, and 1.5hr tour where you can see the fish bidding and trading, and tour the dock and see fish loading/unloading.
It's a beautiful setting with docks right by the bridge.  Do beware of seagulls, they are not afraid of people and are willing to dive at you for your food.  Don't take your eyes off of your food.

You can buy fresh seafood at the vendors shops and alot of them will cook it for you.  You can choose to have your food cooked in different style, even sashimi.
Since it was too early for a full lunch, I opted for a lobster mornay.  It is basically cheese and cream baked over the lobster meat.  I will say that it wasn't as warm as I liked, but it's a good tourist spot for lunch with a nice view of the dock.

They also have a cooking school to teach you how to make something yummy with your daily catch.  You can see their school catalog on their site.  You can get there by metro or bus, obviously by car, and they have their own parking for a fee.
