Poissonnerie - La Criée du Marché des Argonautes

Coco, our charming guide from 'Culinary Backstreets Marseille,' whisked us away to the world of the Marché des Argonautes on Boulevard Longchamp. This extraordinary market, once a theater, has been lovingly restored and now shines as a covered market combining various culinary areas: bread and baked goods, the finest meats and charcuterie, fresh fish, exquisite cheeses, fine wines, and an abundance of fruits and vegetables. In the midst of this atmospheric market, Coco invited us to a central table and presented a selection of delicious specialties. A true feast for the senses – simply magnificent!

The tuna tartare and the oyster and shrimp platter are incredible, go for it with your eyes closed!! The fishmonger is very friendly and passionate, thank you for this magnificent dish!

The food is excellent, the owner and staff are very friendly. Everything is super fresh, top quality right down to Sabrina Guez's dessert. I highly recommend!!

A wonderful place with delicious fresh produce, and the owner is passionate and very friendly!! The place is also sumptuous 🤩 You can cross Marseille with your eyes closed to enjoy this treat!! Thank you

Simply one of the best shellfish places in Marseille. The kindness, the freshness, the taste, it's all there. And please, when I read the comments about prices, we're talking about shellfish, folks, this isn't fast food. So yes, it will always be more expensive than supermarkets, but let's compare like with like. This isn't Gambardella, it's the Champions League. So enjoy, treat yourself, and let's help our Marseille fishermen and producers as much as possible. Kisses.

Thank you for your warm and kind welcome. The freshness of the fish (salmon and tuna) for homemade sushi is matched only by their flavor, all for a price that I find fair and correct. So yes, in supermarkets it's cheaper, but it's not as good.

Discover this magnificent place: fresh, quality products, friendly owner and good advice... don't hesitate to come... other complementary products: cheeses, wines, charcuterie... a very good address

We came for a platter with our wife to celebrate Valentine's Day. We discovered a truly passionate chef who takes great care of his customers. The oysters were exquisite, the wine a perfect pairing, the octopus to die for, and the frozen desserts fabulous. $100 for two with a platter, main course, dessert, and a good bottle of wine—very reasonable for shellfish and considering the quality of the products. Thank you, my wife and I were delighted.

We were looking for a fish restaurant when we stumbled upon Nico Coquillages completely by chance, and chance sometimes works wonderfully well, because I was very pleasantly surprised by this establishment, which I'd been passing by daily for years without taking the time to linger. When we arrived at the restaurant, we thought it was closed, but the owner welcomed us like royalty with his enthusiasm and genuine Marseille friendliness. I wanted to "prove" to my girlfriend that the people of Marseille were friendly, and I couldn't have found a better place than this man, who is passionate about his work and speaks incredibly well of it. So much good advice on shellfish and other seafood, and we were also delighted to discover excellent, fresh, and above all, homemade dishes at a perfectly reasonable price. I thought I didn't like oysters (due to a bad past experience), but the products at Nico Coquillages proved me wrong, and I thank them for that. In summary: fresh, quality products - an admirably friendly, personable, business-like, and professional owner like you rarely see - dishes prepared with a passion for a job well done and great expertise; they have nothing to envy of other restaurants that call themselves "semi-gastronomic." I give it 100x and recommend everyone to try this restaurant; you won't regret it. Thanks again!

A big thank you to Erik for the quality and variety of his products!! We've had the opportunity to taste them several times: a real treat! His welcome and the service he provides are simply perfect because he does it all with a big heart. We recommend him without hesitation.

Top-notch fish service for my shellfish platter order. What's more, the fish are locally sourced and the price is very reasonable considering the quality! Thank you Eric and Mathieu!
