Fisherman's Wharf, Sydney Fish Markets

One of my favourite yum cha restaurants is the Fisherman's Wharf at the fish markets.  It's fantastic because of freshness of the seafood, bustling atmosphere and if you're lucky then you'll have a beautiful waterside view. I suggest you get there early so you can get a table without the queues and you will also have more choice in food before the crowds come.

I had some of the yum cha favourites on this occasion including the duck which was had crispy skin. I normally don't order the duck because I don't like all the bones but the flesh was tasty and I do like the skin. The salt and pepper calamari was beautiful.  I loved the lightly crumbed salty but slightly peppery calamari. Delicious!

I also stuck to my yum cha favourites of dumplings. My favourite is the garlic chive dumplings but I also ordered the side of scallop/prawn dumplings as well. A nice and well rounded yum cha experience.  It was all beautifully refreshing with some chrysanthemum tea.  It's nice with Jasmine tea too but I like my flower tea.
