About Faros Seafood

Inner West cooks skip the Pyrmont market crush entirely, heading straight to Buckley Street for this Marrickville staple. Faros turns over a sprawling dockside haul at wholesale rates—heaping bins of king prawns, split lobster tails, unshucked Pacific oysters, and fresh-cut kingfish sashimi. Regulars grab a ticket number by the door while the room churns. Point out your catch, call for whole babounia, and the counter crew scales, skins, and fillets everything on the spot.

  • Oceanic Variety: Sprawling retail displays stocked with whole table fish, octopus, cockles, sashimi-grade cuts, and sweet babounia.
  • Custom Counter Prep: Counter crew will gut, scale, skin, and fillet whole fish to your exact home-cooking specs on request.
  • Organized Ticket Queue: A ticketed queuing setup keeps heavy weekend crowds and holiday rushes moving briskly through the counter.

  • Stress-Free Sequenced Ticketing System

    A dedicated ticketed number system allows customers to browse the displays at leisure rather than jostling at the glass counter during peak trading.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the ordering queue work?

Take a ticket at the entrance and browse while waiting for your number to be called. Even during busy peak hours, the ticketed queue system moves efficiently with ample counter staff.

What are the parking options?

The market has an attached parking lot, but it is small and queues can build up during peak hours. Free street parking is also available on nearby streets within a short walk.

Can staff clean and prepare fresh fish for you?

Yes, staff behind the counter can clean, fillet, and skin whole fresh fish upon request to your preference.

Can you dine in at the market?

This is primarily a retail fresh seafood monger with raw cuts, oysters, and limited sashimi rather than a sit-down dining venue. There is no customer restroom on site.
