Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The seafood displays are very attractive and your can buy to cook at home, dine in, or take away cooked items. The prices are not cheap, but if dining in, the service is good. I sat under cover at the pavement table and enjoyed my grilled fish. I was brought full cutlery and cold water.

This is easily the best quality seafood in Melbourne and they have the healthiest food options! I loved the gf crumbed flathead and garlic ginger prawns. The sushi is also to die for.

Not all of what is for sale here is genuine. Scallops are the perfect example - circular 'buttons' cut from who knows what, and sold as 'scallops'. The staff initially insisted that these were real scallops but ultimately conceded that they weren't.
Very disappointing from what could otherwise be a reliable fish and chip shop.

What a bunch of nonsense.. We are fishmongers, and we sell (cooked and raw) premium Japanese sashimi grade scallops with the roe-off all year round (plus local and Tasmanian fresh scallops with the roe-on when the season is on). The quality of these scallops is unreal! Dear Geoff you are not only ignorant to claim such nonsense (circular buttons cut from who knows what) but also a liar that our staff conceded to your ridiculous claims. Beware!

-so sad..
-we search high & low to try to find the best..
-argo, not too far away, looks great!..
-but wasn’t tonight:
* 4 prawns WERE very very good!..
* but - - flathead & chips were ordered ‘crispy’!
... & they were not..
* and batter was a bit ‘soggy’ & much more toward ‘under-done’ than crispy!
- edible ... but not great & not ‘as ordered’... we hate going to places where they politely listen to you if/when you ‘specify’ how you would like your dish ...
& then proceed to make yours exactly the same way they do it every time.

Thank you for the feedback that is always taken very seriously and help us improve and become even better. At Argo, customer happiness is our top priority and we are very sorry that this didn’t happen in that instance. We also prefer to be contacted directly when something is not right or not as ordered so we can fix it fast and in the most efficient manner.

The seafood at Argo is always fresh and delicious. Locals know you can go for a $12 lunch special which we think is great value. Alway fresh, great salads and really fresh fish.
There is a variety of choices from excellent fish and chips to upmarket grilled seafood which is very reasonable priced.
I went to a fundraiser there a few weeks ago and tasted a large range of their fish, salad and dips. Everyone thought for a cheap fundraiser we had some of the best food because of the variety and taste. Better good than many of the more expensive fundraisers.
The wine choice is excellent and cheap.
Argo is in s shop which has been a fish shop since it opened in 1880s.
Shop Queens Parade!

We have been to Argo 15 or 20 times and the seafood is always excellent. Front of house falls down though.
I'd estimate there have been issues with our order at 1 in 3, if not more.
On our recent visit, my son asked for a simple cheeseburger with bacon. Easy really: bun, burger, sauce, cheese, bacon. leaves. He received a BLT with cheese. No burger!
We notified and were offered an actual burger, but by that time too late. If it was a one-off, it would be forgivable, but we have had so many stuff ups at this place.
Seafood orders are now served with just a few mixed leaves. Guys, increase the price and offer a meal. It shouldn't be necessary to order 2 sides to make a dinner.
Argo should be packed out. The fact that it's near empty shows that locals have given up and are going elsewhere.
Guys, get it right or employ someone who cares enough to.

I eat at Argo all the time and just can’t get enough of the fresh grilled fish and calamari, yummy chips, delicious Greek salad, the list goes on, but TODAY I had the Greek Fishermen’s Soup and just had to let the world know how delicious it is. The perfect most satisfying meal for a chilly autumn day after hours spent at Edinburgh Gardens flying kites and hitting tennis balls. If you haven’t tried it yet, it’s a MUST for the Autumn/Winter months.

I dont know what planet other reviewers are visiting from, but this was by far the worst fish and chips I've ever eaten, or attempted to eat.
Fish burger looked and smelt like cat food... actually I think cat food would have been a marked improvement.
Fish both grilled and fried was mush
And the chips....I'd guess they had spent 3-6 months in the freezer after being cooked the first time.
Horrendous.

We are definitely sorry for your bad experience but we also think that you have been too hard and offensive especially if you consider the fact that you got your food delivered by a third party Deliveroo. Seafood and chips don't like to travel in a box and if they don't travel well and with care the result might be horrendous.
Having read you other reviews, it's definitely comforting that we got the same or similar ratings as Attica and Rick Stein's Bannisters! I suggest you should stay home or even better open your own joint if you are not happy with your food elsewhere (that's what I did!).
Thumbs down for all those keyboard warriors- Fay Maschler style food critic wannabes and thumbs up for all the "Cat People" from Planet Cat taking over Earth and enjoy the planet's food and putting their reviews on TripAdvisor!

As a fisheterian always search for the best possible fish 🐠 restaurant. Argo has the most selection and fresh fish 🐟 daily directly from the market. Oysters are great 👍🏽 too. And the Greek dessert bougatsa is superb.

I was drawn in by the lunchtime specials (burger and chips $10, same deal on fish). I also wanted to try their fish as they had so much to choose from. I was very pleased with both. The burger had a thick meat patty, with lettuce and tomato, accompanied by many chips. The fish was well cooked, tasty and came with some lettuce and a lemon wedge.

Came here once with a close friend of mine, I don’t usually enjoy fish mixed in with other cuisine, however the fish & prawn tacos might make me re consider, they where absolutely perfect! The prawn tacos are definitely something I will be getting again, (warning they are a bit spicy 😂)

Excellency.
In one word.
Fish at its best. A unique experience of freshness! Seafood humble master, that’s wat it is! Went there three times last month with wife and best friends, its time topped expectations. And reasoning, cost depending. A spot in our top priority list!

Queens Parade hidden gem! This seafood eatery is absolutely exceptional and at a reasonable price. The quality of fish has to be some of the best in Melbourne, teamed with organic ingredients and a Mediterranean flavor. The owners seem very passionate about food and this is evident in the carefully created dishes with attention to detail that leave you feeling more then satisfied.
Lastly, you can always trust Argos to deliver a healthy meal which can accommodate gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian options.
The opposite of your typical greasy “fish n chips”.
Healthy- flavoursome - quality.
