About Astoria Seafood

Astoria Seafood offers a no-frills dining experience with delicious, fresh seafood cooked to perfection. Customers can choose their preferred seafood, which is priced by the pound and either grilled or fried. The restaurant is great value for seafood lovers, although there might be a wait during peak hours, typically around 20-30 minutes, especially during busy nights. Visitors can enjoy their own wine while waiting, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. Standout dishes include the sea bass and salmon, which leave a lasting impression for a return visit. The place is lively and neighborhood-oriented, providing an authentic seafood experience. The seafood is consistently fresh, with popular dishes like fried calamari and fried red snapper noted for their crisp breading and tender meat. Guests can select from a variety of seafood such as fish, calamari, and scallops, cooked to order with options like grilled red snapper and garlic butter scallops. Many say the quality and amount of seafood make it a real bargain, and the atmosphere is enhanced by unique touches like Greek dancing that occurs halfway through the meal, adding to the lively, fun environment. The restaurant also features a traditional fresh seafood market where you pick your fish and wait 20-40 minutes or more for it to be cooked, which is considered worth the wait. The options are excellent, with grilled shrimps being highly recommended.
