Tahini

Tahini is a smooth, oily paste made from finely ground sesame seeds, offering a rich and nutty flavor. Ideal as a dip, spread, or ingredient in a variety of recipes, it’s a versatile addition to any kitchen.

The tahini is made in-house from family recipes, the Egyptian-Mediterranean way — not bought in or portioned from a tub. It travels well, which is why so many customers add it alongside a grilled fish or a shrimp combo to round the plate into a proper dinner.

On its own it's a light, honest plate; as part of a mezza-style spread with baba ghanoush, tahini, gold rice and a fresh salad, it's the kind of table we grew up around in Alexandria. It's also an easy way to keep a vegetarian at the table happy without a second thought.

Everything at Hamido Seafood is cooked when you place the order at our family kitchen on Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria, Queens, then packed hot for pickup or delivery across Astoria and the nearby Queens neighborhoods. Order the tahini online and it comes straight from the people cooking it — no third-party app in the middle, fresher and without the surcharge.
