I've been a couple times, but not for many years. It's great. Absolutely no atmosphere, but friendly place. No menus, but everything is in the case when you walk in. Simple grill with lemon. No sauces. You'd like it. We started with what I would call deep fried smelts, but they called them something else. Then soft shell crab (no batter or anything, just fried in a pan I would guess), grilled sardines, red snapper, bronzino, and one I had never heard of called something like St. Pierre (that might be wrong name.) Fried potatoes, tadjiky, taramasalata, dandelion greens, and the most insanely garliced mash potatoes I've ever tasted as sides
Ended up being $70 per person but that was with a lot of wine (and food.) The fish is pretty reasonable for how good it is. Plus the couple at a table near us were drinking a bottle of Ridge and they said there was no corkage fee. I think you'd really like it Skinny. N train to Astoria Blvd. and it's right there.
