Experience the sights and sounds of Chinese New Year at Sydney Fish Market (SFM) as it celebrates the 'Year of the Tiger' on Sunday, 14 February.

While Black Tiger Prawns and Tiger Flathead are sure to be in great demand, visitors will have plenty of other reasons to visit SFM.

With a competitive-streak characteristic of those born in the Year of the Tiger, Wests Tigers NRL team will take on the SFM sponsored ACCA Dragon Boat Racing Team in a dragon boat match race on Blackwattle Bay.

Visitors can also admire the colour and movement of the Lion dancers in a traditional performance, said to bring good luck, happiness and prosperity in the New Year. Red and gold Chinese lanterns will line the market, with the colour red also a reminder of romance for Valentine's Day.
