THE Sydney Fish Market could get a wider boardwalk and an outdoor eating area to cater for more visitors.
The market will on Monday lodge a development application for a $3.8 million boardwalk upgrade to start in August and be finished before Christmas.
The market's general manager, Bryan Skepper, said the plan would open up access to the harbour where Sydney's fishing fleet is moored and create a new harbourside area for diners to enjoy seafood.
A new 12-metre wide boardwalk would increase seating capacity and overhead sails would enable all-weather trading.
Meanwhile the City of Sydney has raised the possibility of relocating part of Darling Harbour's exhibition centre to the fish market when the centre is dismantled next year.
Mr Skepper said he was yet to talk to the City of Sydney about its proposal to relocate parts of the white steel superstructure to the market.
He said Infrastructure NSW had indicated it was technically feasible "but the economic viability of it is questionable".
