Brisbane’s Best Fish Market

by Daniel Wong

“Let’s find something to do in morning. Don’t want to stay at home and waste time. I still have one more week before my uni starts” – Chris

Coincidentally, Jerry suggested the same on same day too. He wanted to pay a visit to fish market around Brisbane. Hoping to get some fresh salmon or oysters. To me, that sounds like a good plan. I called up Chris. And we decided to go to a fish market at Hamilton in early morning, the next day.

Chester drove us there. We started lanjiao mission™.


Define:

(n.) lanjiao mission

The lanjiao (plural lanjiaos) is an external sexual organ of certain biologically male organisms.The lanjiao is a reproductive organ, technically an intromittent organ, and for mammals, additionally serves as the external organ of urination.

Mission: task, assignment; delegation; errand

1) an important assignment, typically involving travelling abroad with purpose.
2) a group of people sent on a mission to search for pretty girls.
3) the mission members are only consists of lanjiao. no girls allowed.
4) unless pick up during mission

I have to make up this definition and put a trademark on it. I have been in these missions for many many many times. It’s about time to give a proper name to such missions. What you guys think about it? Haha anyway. We reach there around 10am.

The fish market entrance are pretty grand. With all the photos on the wall.. like it’s showcasing the historic background of the fish market.

We stood there for awhile. Look at photos with the fisherman holding up their fish as if it’s their proudest moment. And behind that automatic glass door. I was expecting to look at how grand is the fish market. Seeing that so many great photos on the main entrance.

Ei? Am I in the wrong place? Or is this only a small section of the big fish market? Where are the fresh salmons? Where are the cheap oysters? WHERE?

Seems like this fish market is no bigger than my own common room. /pfft. We were so disappointed. Whole “market” only got two salmon for sale.

My expression means “WHAT THE FUCK?”

Wah. Self proclaimed “Brisbane’s No.1 Seafood”. Probably they should remove the little “.”

BRISBANE’S NO ONE SEAFOOD

Then I can call myself “Brisbane’s No.1 Leng Zai” already..

Warning guys. If you like Yumis fresh seafood dips then I would give them a miss. there manufacturing plant in cheltenham is covered in lysteria and the actual factory is made out of asbestos. They also supply salmon and trout so I would stay clear of that off the shelves at Coles Safeway etc. just a warning.

Thanks Greg, that's very helpful. I am sure this message will help many people. Cheers.

P.P.S. Those beers in your banner at the top of your webpage look like they were made in Japan! I recognise those beer mugs and heaps of foam in the beer. Is that where the photo was taken?

Hey Ross, glad to have you around :D I was surprise to get ranked on first page of Google with that post too, got people send me email about this post from time to time.. heh.

To be honest with your question about better Fish market at Brisbane. The answer is NO. The freshest seafood I found so far is at Coles/Woolies... I hate to say that, lol. Hopefully there's a better fish market that rivals Sydney fish market soon in future. Kevin Rudd if you're reading this post, please do something.

The beer mug photo was taken at a German bar @ Singapore. 1L beer mug. I am going Singapore next month, my friend found another place that offers 1.5L.. wohoooooooooooo!

G'day Brisbane's No. 1 Lengzai, Ahbing! Haha. Classic stuff mate. Your blog here is pretty high up in the Google search results for 'Brisbane Fish Market'! So I clicked on and was like - hey! - a real opinion! Good stuff mate and very humorous, too :D Glad I stumbled onto it and will be bookmarking your blog for sure. Good stuff. One question though: in your adventures here, have you found any better fish markets around? Tried out wholesale markets rather than retail, etc? Keen to know from he who has been before me ;) And P.S. LOVE the 'Lanjiao Mission' term. Been on plenty of those myself :D

@Harry - it's at 15 Hercules Street, HAMILTON 4007. Official website here http://www.samiesgirl.com.au/home.html

can i know the address please

LOL- It probably IS the best fish market in Brisbane. Australia is the world's biggest island but it's still almost impossible to get good fresh fish here!

massy:  got other fishes as well.. but only Salmon caught my attention. TWO salmons in whole market.

Yumi: don't waste your time. Stay home read a book is much better, haha

Heng: oh really? did not know about that. Hahahah my lanjiao mission got more mission one.. this entry is only ONE of the missions.

EVo: ya loh. totally agree.

Nelson: it's a fish shop

Khai: Didn't know you are fond of fishing -_- don't waste your money on fishing rod. Buy lures la.. I lend you my "rod"

Fish market with no salmon. that's a "fresh" one. nx time we go pancing sama sama at victoria point! i go back kk buy pancing 1st. hiak hiak hiak

LOL...what the fuck? damn...that is indeed a small fish market

LOL this is fish shop not fish market!

Your lanjiao mission is a trip to fish market to look for pretty girls??!!!! Please don't tell people you are from KK!! hahaha

That fish market used to be THE fish market in Brisbane when it was called Sam's Seafood, and before it went bankrupt because of rapid expansion. 

So is it good or bad - so called Brisbane No 1? Worth the trip? Looks abit shaggy to me thou. lollllll................

WHAT?! that's it?  I mean the fish market.  What I expect it to be BIG! I mean BIG! XD alalalalala...GG

Anyways, hahahahha a name for the outing for guys only ei?  anyways what la u guys got from there since there's only 2 salmon hahahaha XD
