Abuqir shared by @infatuation says: ""There's no menu at Abuqir, and that's a big reason why we love it. This casual Egyptian spot in Astoria's Little Egypt—with just a few small tables and the no-frills atmosphere of a market (apart from that smiley shark on one wall)—is a must-visit for any seafood lover in New York City. Approach the counter and point out whichever branzino, calamari, red snapper, or other ocean-sourced goodie you like the look of, and the staff will gladly prepare it however you want. Be sure to order a whole fish “Egyptian-style," blackened and crusted in spices, and some of the juiciest grilled shrimp you've ever had in your life—but don't sleep on the smoky baba ghanoush or fluffy pita, either.
