Market Galley is a seafood stall in the Auckland Fish Market at 22 Jellicoe Street, Freemans Bay, holding a 3.6 rating from 169 Google reviews. Reviewers single out the trevally fish and chips, the fish burgers and the fried oysters, and one notes the kitchen handled a sixty-person order without fuss.
Counter seafood like this stands or falls on freshness, so it pays to ask for the day's catch rather than whatever has sat longest in the cabinet — in Auckland that often means trevally, gurnard or snapper. A good batter is thin, crisp and cooked to order, and the fish is best eaten as soon as it's cool enough to handle. Market counters run to the lunchtime rush, so expect a queue at midday and a quieter spell later on. Regulars keep it simple.
Right in the thick of the market on Jellicoe Street, Market Galley makes a proper seafood feed an easy stop in Freemans Bay.
