and yes of course...Mons Venus and the old Tabu have to be mentioned...and Peter's smoked fish....mackeral baby!
The Canadians seem to have grouped on Treasure Island. Pass-a-Grille is pretty much residential still, and they are renovating many of the older homes into big fancy multi-storied ones (if you build now, the bottom floor can only be a garage with breakaway doors, so water will flow through if the tides breach the island during a storm.)
Hurricane is still on Pass-a-Grille and grouper sandwiches are still their specialty.
Skyway Jacks moved from down near the Skyway a little farther north, but it's still on 34th Street South.
Haven't been to the Frog Pond in ages...but their breakfast is superb.
Ted Peters died, but his grandson still runs the restaurant...smoked mullet and mackeral, good burgers, and great potato salad.
As to the Mons...no comment, but they're still in business.
Smoked fish? Guess we need to get back across the Gandy, the Howard Franklin, or the causeway, since Hatteras started this thread in Tampa, but I suppose it is all Tampa Bay. Old "Mullet Inn" on the causeway, "The Fish you eat here today, Slept last night in Tampa Bay". Place long gone,smoked mullet, loved it, but I have to admit, it took awhile; and the Cuban sandwiches, along with a bowl of soap. Any one of several places that won the Annual Best Cuban Sandwich award. The award moved around. They were all good; and the deviled crab cakes at the Silver Ring in Ybor. Ole Lou P's (as in Pinella, along with many others) old hangout. And the homemade Sangria and Filete Salteado at Cafe Pepes. And as Dawn53 mentioned, just about anything from Alessi's. And I sure missed the Jai-Alai Fronton. You could find Mr. Rose or Mr. Bench there just about every night of spring ball.
