The story was about robots exploring another planet. The inhabitants thought the robots were human, and also thought that they were superior to the robots. That is until the robots stirred molten steel with their arms and killed a monster shark like fish. When the inhabitants saw the leaky spacecraft that the robots came in, they then thought humans were superior.

I suspect this is "Victory Unintentional" a classic short story by Isaac Asimov. (Scan available on archive.org)
3 robots are sent to explore Jupiter and meet the potentially hostile inhabitants. Although they make no threats or overtly hostile acts, they accidentally kill an experimental specimen by irradiating it, and in other ways prove themselves far more robust than the Jovians. (Entering from space in a ship with no atmospheric control was one factor.)
In the end the Jovians decide they don't want to get in a fight with these "Earthmen" and agree to a treaty.
