Egyptian-Mediterranean seafood pickup — fresh grilled fish, lobster tail, and Hamido's signature sides, a short ride from Roosevelt Island to our Astoria kitchen.
Roosevelt Island is closer to our kitchen than most of Manhattan — directly across the water from Astoria, an easy run via the Ferry Terminal and the residential blocks that look back over Queensbridge Park. The island's handful of food options doesn't really cover a proper seafood dinner; our kitchen is a short tram-and-train trip or quick drive over the bridge.
Hamido Seafood is a family kitchen doing Egyptian and Mediterranean fish the way it's done on the Alexandria coast. The 9oz lobster tail and the king crab legs are for a real dinner at home; the grilled salmon and whole bronzini each come with two sides of your choice; and the scallops and shrimp linguini in garlic sauce is the comfort order people come back for. Finish the table with tahini, gold rice, garlic eggplant and a Hamido house salad and it eats like a full Mediterranean spread.
Because the trip from the kitchen to the island is short, the food travels well — still hot and just-cooked when you get it home, not soft from forty minutes in a bag. Everything is made when you place the order; nothing is pre-fried and reheated, which is the difference you taste immediately.
For residents who've spent a while making do with limited choices, a seafood dinner that's actually freshly cooked — and comes straight from the kitchen with no app in the middle — is the entire point of the short trip over.
For a quiet night looking back at the Queensbridge skyline, the order writes itself: lobster tail or grilled salmon, scallops and shrimp linguini, tahini and gold rice alongside. It's an Alexandria-style seafood dinner that's only a tram ride away — order online, pick up on your way over the water.
