Looking to get adventurous with your seafood cooking this week? Why not try Bailer Shell? Similar in texture and flavour to Abalone, but decidedly cheaper, this beautiful species work perfectly in a stir fry (a recipe from @seafood_school is linked in our Instagram stories!). Bailer Shells go well with flavours like bean sprouts, chilli, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, oyster sauce and sesame oil... And like most seafood, they require very little cooking to achieve a nice texture. 
Prawns galore! 🦐🦐🦐 What is your favourite type of prawn? Comment below! 
Another weekend activity for the kiddies, coming to you from our Summer In the City series! While Pirrama Park Playground is amazing to visit at any time of year - boasting cafés, free barbecues, public toilets, and covered picnic areas, all overlooking the harbour waters – the best time to visit is in summer. Alongside the huge playground and sandpit, a wide open pathway of water fountains is ready and waiting for the little ones to run around in and cool down. Parents can relax and enjoy the Harbour views, while the kids roam free – perfect! Remember to visit us to pick up a picnic lunch on your way! 
Sydney Fish Market is the perfect stop for lunch - why not pay us a visit this week? These tasty lunch options are available at @nicholasseafoodsydney 
Looking for something to do with the family this school holidays? We're showcasing our top activities around the Pyrmont/Darling Harbour area, and today's suggestion is the iconic Maritime Museum ( @sea.museum ). Whether you’re into maritime history or not, The Australian National Maritime Museum is an absolute must-see. There’s something for everyone, with a continually changing program of exhibitions, activities and events, as well as one of the largest floating historical vessel collections in the world. Going far beyond historical boats, the museum shares stories of the sea, showcasing the people, objects and places that have shaped Australia. Situated in the gorgeous Darling Harbour, it’s a stunning place to explore on a sunny day. 
Many of us are cooking at home more often these days, and it’s always fun to try something a little out of your comfort zone. One of our favourite summer recipes is commercial scallops in the shell: not only are they super easy to make on the BBQ, but they’re already sitting in their very own serving platter... Fancy! Just add some minced garlic, butter, parsley and a splash of white wine to the scallop shell and put them on the BBQ for a minute, and these are ready to eat! #scallop #scallops #seafoodrecipes 
One of the best things to do in Sydney, the Chinese Garden of Friendship is a gorgeously tranquil escape from the bustle of the city, and in summer it is an especially lovely place to explore and relax in the shade. On a hot day, satisfied after a tasty lunch at Sydney Fish Market, sometimes all you need is a moment to pause, in complete serenity. From its quiet pathways and shimmering Koi ponds, to its exotic plants and blooming flowers, the Chinese Garden of Friendship is an oasis in the centre of the Darling Harbour/Pyrmont precinct. Bonus: it’s an absolutely prime spot for all your Instagram picture needs – check these pics out for inspiration.

We may be famous worldwide for our fresh seafood, but did you know that Sydney Fish Market is also home to Sydney’s best butchery, @vicsmeatmarket ? Also featuring a smokehouse, Vic’s is a carnivore’s cavern of delights. This 14 hour smoked beef brisket burger is one of our faves! 
Looking for a COVID-safe activity for the kids these holidays? Why not introduce them to a new cooking experience?
