For those people who have not lived in Sydney........ you need to take into consideration the price difference between "live" seafood and "fresh" seafood. If live pippies are selling at 48/kg (I have not seen that price at the fish market, but doesn't mean it is not right), I bought fresh ones at the flemington market for 18/kg yesterday). I am going to try to cook Pippies in XO sauce tonight, will let you know it goes. Live seafood is usually double the price of fresh ones. The bottom line is, Sydney Fish Market has become such a tourish attraction, prices there are above average and if you look harder, you will find cheaper seafood. They are diffinitely cheaper than Shanghai, but more expensive than Singapore.

I miss Sydney fresh seafood especially oyster and pipis. Seafood in NY is nothing compared to Sydney. I’ve just moved from Sydney to New York. I miss Sydney fresh seafood especially oyster and pipis.

There are a large number of cafes and restaurants, over 200 within 3 blocks of my workplace.

Still looking for a Thai half as good as "Spice I Am".<br/><br/>I eat out every day for lunch (that way I do not have to prepare a large meal in the evening). I generally spend under $10AUD for lunch (ok somedays it gets at high as $15AUD). <br/><br/>For that price you can some decent food, the service may vary, but the food is always worth in my select few establishments. @Rasa Malaysia I am glad you where not too disappointed with “Spice I Am”.

It was good. I ordered their signature dishes: Som Tom (Green Papaya Salad), Tom Yum Goong, and Phuket-style Hor Mok (steamed fish in banana leaf). I think the Som Tom is fantastic - salty, very spicy, sour, and just a tint of sweetness. It's definitely the best Som Tom I have ever tasted. I didn't like the Tom Yum Goong, they put evaporated milk into it and make it taste milky. The hor mok has really good spice balance and tasted just like Malaysian otak-otak, but there are no fish fillet pieces inside the parcel at all. So it was more like some fish paste mixed with spices. Nick Cowie – I just came back trying “Spice I Am.” It was good.
