TandA Goes Fish Hunting....

In between interviews we decided to check out Sydney's fish market....


BUSY day at the fist market...  Not sure if you can tell by my face but it was hot and it was stinky!


Hello delicious fishies


Hmmm bug tails... I think I'll pass.

Side note, bug tails are actually supposed to be good they're like flat lobsters, will keep you posted once tried.



Delicious crazy fish platter! But no bug tails,maybe next time...



A good afternoon at the market!

Side note, T was with me on this adventure, just didn't make it into any of the pics. :(
