The Melbourne Wholesale Fish Market is the focal point for the fishing industry in South East Australia.
Fish arrives fresh daily direct from fishing ports and inland waterways.
It is the only centre that supplies the full range of available fresh fish in Victoria. The Market is made up of two sections, the main part consists of four commissioned agents who sell fresh fish on behalf of fishermen. The other section of the Market is made up of thirteen provedores who compliment the agents by specialising in imported fish, crustaceans, molluscs, shellfish and processed fish. Businesses from Melbourne, Country Victoria, N.S.W. and S.A. use the market as their main source of fish. Melbourne's wholesale markets have a long history extending back to when the Port Phillip District was apart of New South Wales.
