Fresh Egyptian-Mediterranean seafood delivered across Long Island City — grilled bronzini, tiger shrimp, and signature seafood tajin from Hamido Seafood in nearby Astoria.
If you live or work around Court Square, the high-rises off Vernon Boulevard, or you've just spent an afternoon at MoMA PS1, you already know this stretch of Queens runs short on real, fresh-fish cooking. Between the coffee bars and the quick-lunch counters there isn't much that tastes like an actual seafood dinner. That's the gap we fill from our family kitchen a few minutes up the road on Ditmars Boulevard in Astoria.
Hamido Seafood is Egyptian and Mediterranean at heart — the way fish is cooked along the Alexandria coast. Nothing is pre-fried or held under a lamp. The whole bronzini is grilled to order with olive oil and garlic; the tiger shrimp come as a half-pound, fried crisp or grilled; and the seafood tajin is baked slow in the Egyptian style with a tomato-and-pepper base you won't find at a generic fry shop. Order any of it with traditional gold rice, smooth tahini, garlic eggplant, or a fresh Hamido house salad and you've got a complete Mediterranean table.
We deliver to the residential towers near Queens Plaza, the converted lofts along Jackson Avenue, and the studios and offices in between. Pickup is fast if you're coming off the 7, E, G or the ferry — your order is bagged hot and ready, not sitting out. Because the trip from our kitchen is short, the fish reaches you the way it left: just off the heat, crisp things still crisp.
Whether it's a weeknight dinner for the family or a tray of mixed grilled calamari and shrimp for the office, this is genuine Astoria seafood brought a few minutes south. A lot of customers here start with a single combo and end up ordering every week.
Big orders are where this kitchen is happiest: a whole red snapper down the middle of the table, calamari and baked clams to pass around, a couple of combos with two sides each. It scales the way Egyptian seafood is meant to — shared, generous, finished with lemon and good olive oil.
