"This Charleston classic offers their take on the rich she-crab soup — which doesn’t disappoint — along with Hank’s oyster stew. The chowder-style stew is reminiscent of a bacon-laced baked potato soup — just add chunks of fresh oysters." - Parker Milner
"Seafood house Hank's serves a chowder-style stew of oysters, leek, potato and bacon. Oyster stew is a super-classic Lowcountry dish with recipes dating back hundreds of years." - Erin Perkins
"The youngest restaurant on this list, Hank’s Seafood opened in 1999 to critical acclaim. The menu serves classic, fresh from the ocean dishes, like Seafood a la Wando or curried shrimp, and traditional fried shrimp plates. Chef Frank McMahon sought to recreate Charleston fish houses of the past and succeeded with Hank’s." - Erin Perkins
"An old school Charleston classic, Hank’s utilizes shrimp throughout the menu, from the jumbo shrimp cocktail to a half-pound of peel n’ eats. The fried shrimp arrive on a platter — either alone or alongside another fish like grouper or flounder — with a side of crisp sweet potato fries and Southern slaw." - Parker Milner
