900 tonnes on the barbie

We paid a visit to Sydney's busy fish market.  This place is busy at the best of days but being in the guts of the city and with only a few days till Christmas it was erupting!

It was prawn city, we had never seen so many.  Seafood being the preferred Christmas lunch staple item (no turkeys here).  The market was doing a 36 hour non stop trading marathon to ease the Christmas rush.  The market was open again the day after Boxing day, which is a bit of luck as you wouldn't want to run out of the little fellas would you.  Not at Christmas! 

The local radio station later informed us that 900 tonnes of shell fish were shifted during this time!!  And we wonder why our oceans are slowing becoming empty of marine life.
