It can get a little crazy in here because it's a good value and BYOB . Order your food first, then ask the hostess to put your name down. Owners were friendly and introduced themselves to the noobies.

"People of all ages, ethnicities, and economic brackets are drawn by a powerful common denominator: fresh fish , prepared simply and sold at a fraction of what it costs almost anywhere else." Read more

Process: Pick some fish , give them to the cashier , choose grilled or fried + sides, give them your name, find Helen and tell her your name and party size, wait outside to be called, sit down and eat.

2nd time. Octopus and soft shell crab clear winners. 2nd time we’ve concluded fish unnecessary. Check if crab salad is made with real or imitation that day. Getting real crab next time.

Carol

Unbelievable hidden local gem in Astoria. You choose whichever and how much of the fresh seafood and then order how you’d like them prepared. We feasted like royalty! They serve you each dish.

Olivier Met

It is like a small cantina; you pick-up fresh sea food like in a fish shop; they will cook it; the quality is very good. You can also bring your wine or buy beer from the shop nearby.

Absolutely love this place. You walk around and pick out all of the fresh food you want, then bring it to the counter and tell them how you want it cooked. The best part? BYOB

Eileen

Affordable, delicious seafood . Fried calamari , grilled garlic shrimp , baked fish (sea bass ), and salad . Free unlimited garlic bread . BYOB , they have bottle openers and cups. Go early, it gets crowded

Gabriel Chung

A seafood market that is also a restaurant . Fresh seafood , cheap , and grilled nicely but it is always crowded and very unorganized. Nevertheless good things come to those who wait.

Came here on a Wednesday night, the place was packed. We had red mullet, red snapper , and some fried calamari . Everything was good. Friendly service .. next time I should bring my own sauce for fish :p

Mischa

BYOB and choose what you are eating, that's as good as it gets here, be sure to pick some octopus and shrimps , ask them to grill your choice of food, it is the best.

Ailie Chang

Everything is great here! We selected shrimp , scallops , and king crab to be cooked. Get the garlic bread , greek salad , and lemon potatoes too!

Vania S.

Delicious, fresh seafood . Super affordable , but don't expect great service. Came here on a Saturday night and spent 3-4 hours here waiting around more than actually eating.

Hidden gem . Choose fresh ingredients by the pound and the house cooks it for you. Very delicious and affordable . Often long lines in the weekend. It's also BYOB ????

Irina Timokhina

All Seafood is amazing but since I had to wait 2 hours outside after ordering - I guess it’s not worth it. I heard that you have to come any day but Friday or Saturday to avoid waiting for long time

arliza

Pick out a fresh sea bass from the back. Ask them to cook it for you... Sit down and enjoy

Rami Haykal-Manning

Get the octopus , grilled shrimp (the pricier bigger ones), Greek salad and a branzino

Despite the service, the excellent and cheap food keeps me coming back. Ask for octopus at the counter. ????

Chaotic experience with lackluster attention - food is good but there are others in Astoria that are essentially the same set-up but better in organization and service (ex abuqir)
