Where To Pick Your Own Seafood In Astoria - New York - The Infatuation

"On the edge of Steinway Street, AbuQir is the smallest spot on this list, and the one that looks most like a pediatrician’s waiting room circa 1986. But it has the same great selection of fish as the others, neatly arranged on ice at the front of the fluorescent dining room. Their Egyptian-style branzino is deliciously encrusted with charred cumin and other spices, the eggplant slices are thick and juicy, and the shrimp are always cooked perfectly, whether grilled or fried. Try their lobster or jump shrimp in a mustardy sauce." - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
