Ibn Hamido Seafood

Rooted in the Alexandrian dining tradition, this family-owned Astoria spot pairs counter-service selection with table-service sides. After pointing out a fresh catch from the raw display, diners settle in to order drinks and accompaniments. The kitchen's output ranges from fried sardines to red snapper, though the grilled octopus and a smooth, blended mint lemonade are the standout fixtures of the meal.
