Ibn Hamido Seafood 8.5
Astoria (North)-Ditmars-Steinway
Ibn Hamido Seafood operates as both fish market and Egyptian-style seafood restaurant, letting you choose from iced whole fish and shellfish before they hit the grill or fryer. High-volume reviews praise the ultra-fresh product, big platters, and charcoal-grilled preparations that make it a go-to for group feasts built entirely around seafood.
Must-Try Dishes: Whole grilled branzino by the pound, Mixed fried seafood platter, Garlic shrimp
