Best Seafood in Dutch Kills

Hamido Seafood — fresh Egyptian-Mediterranean fish, a quick pickup from Dutch Kills, Queens. Grilled shrimp, house seafood pizza, and classic sides from our Astoria kitchen.

Dutch Kills, tucked around Queensboro Plaza and the 21st Street–Queensbridge stop, is a short trip from our Astoria kitchen. For a corner of Queens this central — surrounded by transit and new buildings — genuinely fresh seafood is surprisingly hard to find nearby. The pickup run up to Ditmars is quick.

Hamido Seafood cooks Egyptian and Mediterranean fish to order, never ahead, the way a family kitchen on the Alexandria coast would. The grilled shrimp sandwich and the salmon burger are built on soft house bread with sautéed peppers and onions; the seafood pizza on fresh dough is a steady local reorder; and the jumbo grilled shrimp with two sides eats like a full dinner. Add tahini, lemon potatoes, garlic eggplant or a Greek salad and the plate is complete.

The short hop from the kitchen back to Dutch Kills means the food stays hot and right — crisp things still crisp, grilled things still juicy, not softened from a long ride. Everything is cooked the moment you order; nothing is pre-fried and reheated, which is the part you taste first.

Plenty of regulars here are commuters who grabbed a pickup order on the way home from the plaza once and simply never went back to the chain options around the corner. Ordering online sends it straight to the kitchen with no third-party app marking it up.

Near the plaza and the 39th Avenue blocks, the steady orders are the sandwiches and the jumbo grilled shrimp with two sides — fast, full, and a real step up from the chain options around the corner. The seafood pizza on fresh dough is the one people add once and then keep adding.

Order online for pickup, swing by on the way home, walk out with the bag.
