Comments on: An Insider’s Guide To The Sydney Fish Market Auctions http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/11/24/an-insiders-guide-to-the-sydney-fish-market-auctions/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

Terrific write-up! Did you hear/see any prices for any of the whole Tuna or Swordfish? Also, just a small correction (couldn't help myself :-) ), Toro is the general term for meat from the belly, and there are 2 types of Toro: Chu-toro and O-Toro. Hi Lorraine!
