Hamido Seafood pickup minutes from East Elmhurst, Queens — fresh grilled and fried fish, shrimp combos, and Egyptian sides, close to LaGuardia.
East Elmhurst sits right beside LaGuardia, and the area around Planeview Park and Overlook Park is only a few minutes' drive from our Astoria kitchen. If you're heading to or from a flight, working a shift near the airport, or you just want a real dinner at home that isn't terminal food, pickup is the fastest way to get it.
We cook Egyptian and Mediterranean seafood to order, the Alexandria way — olive oil, garlic, fresh fish, nothing frozen mid-service. The fried fish fillet and fried shrimp sandwiches are especially travel-friendly: crisp, on fresh hero bread, with tartar and lettuce — which is why crews and travelers around here often grab them on the way home. For a fuller meal, the grilled bronzini or a tiger-shrimp combo with two sides eats like a proper sit-down dinner.
Add gold rice, lemon potatoes, baba ghanoush or a Greek salad and you've got a complete plate rather than just a piece of fish in a box. Everything leaves the kitchen hot and is packed to hold up over the short trip home, so it doesn't arrive steamed soft the way a longer ride would leave it.
A good share of the orders from this corner of Queens are repeat customers who found us once before a flight and kept ordering on the way back through. Once you've had it cooked to order, the chain options near the airport stop making sense. Pickup is fast even if you're already driving the Grand Central or the BQE.
Order online ahead, swing through, and the bag is ready the moment you arrive.
Flight crews and families near Astoria Boulevard tend to keep it simple and good — a fried fish or shrimp sandwich for the road, or a tiger-shrimp combo with rice and lemon potatoes for a real sit-down at home. Either way it leaves the kitchen hot and built to make the short trip back well. Plenty of locals also pick up a whole grilled bronzini or king crab legs for a bigger weekend table — quick to grab on the way through Ditmars. The pickup window opens around noon and runs into the early evening, so it fits airport schedules either side of a shift.
