Sydney Fish Market
A Mediterranean escape in Sydney. Seafood, charcoal and the waterfront.
About Hamsi Taverna
Turkish coastal seafood culture meets Sydney Fish Market.
Named after Türkiye’s Black Sea anchovy, Hamsi brings the spirit of Turkey’s seaside taverns to the new Sydney Fish Market. Fresh Australian seafood meets the charcoal grill, with a menu made for sharing and plenty of Turkish flavours along the way.
Set right on the water with views across Anzac Bridge and Blackwattle Bay, Hamsi is made for long lunches, seafood feasts and afternoons that roll into sunset drinks.
Come for oysters, meze and a glass of wine or cocktails, stay for the charcoal grill, and another round for the table.

From the press
“Hamsi reflects everything myself and the Efendy Group stand for: taking Turkish food global without losing its soul. It’s about confidence, generosity, and letting great produce, fire and flavour do the talking.”
