Hank's Catfish & BBQ
Hank's is a barbecue and fried catfish counter on North Dale Mabry Highway in the Egypt Lake-Leto area of north Tampa, one of the few places in the city that treats the fish fryer and the smoker as equal partners. Creative Loafing's barbecue guide singles out the crispness of the fish. It runs a catering side alongside the counter.
