If you have been to Sydney Pymont Fish market, you might be able to relate to this. Don’t get turned off by the smell that first hits you when u enter into the restaurant, because the first time I wanted to take a peek inside, I walked in and walked out in 10 seconds, but I did make a return trip yesterday. After all, it did state that it is a FISH MARKET, and that’s how it will smell. Nonetheless, if you can make it past the market (which is about 15 steps if u take large swift strides), you’ll make it to the promise land of the bistro where you won’t be disappointed with the freshness of the seafood.
Hot Seafood Platter
The seafood here is great. Lots of selection, great freshness, great cozy relaxed ambience and the staff were pretty good. I was impressed by the large menu for the size of the place, other than seafood platters, if u would like there are one-dishers like soft-shell crab pasta. If you love fish, there is a good selection too, snapper, monkfish, barramundi, cod, john dory among others are served grilled or as fish and chips. What I thought was interesting was that they had interesting combinations of serving fish with foie gras and I love foie gras so that earned an extra brownie point with me.
My overall experience was good. There were 7 of us, but it was my first time there, so we had the hot seafood platter, the cold seafood platter – which would give u a comprehensive guide to seafood if u can’t make up your mind or if u just simply greedy. Along with that we had two soft-shell crab pastas, a barramundi fish and chips and a NZ green lipped mussels which were cooked with white-wine and garlic sauce. The place is a little pricey if u have three courses it would set you back about S$50-S$60, but if u are into communal tucker, you can order it this way and our bill came up to slightly less than S$240. Anyhow, I would say this place is a gem in the seafood places because most of our seafood restaurants are Chinese and so, this is a great addition.

spot on! i agree wif u totally! tt place rocks. e platter's so sumptious! slightly on the low profile. such injustice. heh.
Just had a scrumptious lunch at Greedwood Fish market. My only complaint was that the serving portion was too small for such wonderful food! Thanks for sharing!
How much does the hot seafood platter go for? Is there a recommended serving?
I am not sure about the freshness and how good the seafood is....But I am very sure that the hygiene of the food served failed!!! I was having dinner at this restaurant on 28 Dec 07. I was shocked to see a live snail, length of 1.5cm and width 0.7cm crawling on one of the salad vege as I was about to gobble down the vege!!! Thanks goodness I spotted it before it is too late!!! The restaurant personnel did not apologise for it and was trying to give tonnes of clumsy excuses. He even told us that the vege, as well as most of the food served, shipped in from Australia, were not allowed to be cleaned and washed upon reaching Singapore in order to preserve the freshness!!! How can it be!!! The food is not hygienic at all!!!
