Egyptian seafood pickup minutes from Sunnyside, Queens — crisp fried shrimp, jumbo grilled shrimp, and classic tahini and rice from Hamido Seafood, a quick trip up Queens Boulevard.
Sunnyside sits a straight shot down Queens Boulevard from our kitchen — a short drive or one-train ride for fresh seafood that's actually worth the trip. If your evening usually winds down near Torsney/Lou Lodati Playground or the blocks around the 46th–Bliss and 40th–Lowery stations, dinner is waiting a few minutes north at our Ditmars Boulevard kitchen.
Hamido Seafood cooks the way a family kitchen in Alexandria, Egypt would: fish to order, never frozen mid-service, finished with olive oil, garlic and the Mediterranean sides that came down through the family. The white fried shrimp is light and crisp; the jumbo shrimp are grilled with garlic; and the fish and chips is fresh tilapia, not a freezer fillet. Round any of them out with gold rice, baba ghanoush, lemon potatoes or a Greek salad.
This part of Queens has no shortage of takeout, but honest, cooked-to-order seafood is genuinely rare here — which is why so many regulars in the neighborhood already make the short pickup trip. Families tend to order the combos with two sides; a couple will split mixed grilled calamari and shrimp with a mezza spread to start, then a whole grilled fish for the table.
Order online, drive up Queens Boulevard, walk in and grab it. The food leaves the kitchen hot and packed to travel the short distance back to your door — not the soft-bagged version a long ride home would produce.
No third-party app in the middle either, which means it's both fresher and cheaper than ordering the same plate through a marketplace platform.
If you've been along Greenpoint Avenue or off the 52nd Street stop and want something that actually feels like dinner, this is it: a half-pound combo, a mezza spread of baba ghanoush and tahini, maybe a whole grilled fish. It's the Alexandria table, packed to go and brought the short way home — order online and skip the wait. Plenty of Sunnyside regulars place the order on the train ride home and pick up on the walk back from Queens Boulevard. The pickup window runs roughly noon to early evening, so it fits whether you're grabbing lunch off the 7 train or picking up a family-size dinner on the way back from work.
Order online for pickup and the kitchen has it ready when you walk in.
