About Us

Fish On Seafood House opened in 2022 with a simple goal: serve fresh Gulf seafood in Destin, Florida, with high quality, great service, and outstanding value in a relaxed, welcoming setting. The idea was years in the making, built on decades of restaurant experience and a belief that great food doesn’t have to be complicated—or overpriced.

At the heart of Fish On is Chef Giovanni “Gio” Filippone, whose experience and passion for cooking have helped shape the restaurant from the beginning. Gio brings a background influenced by his Italian heritage, years spent in the restaurant industry, and a genuine love for preparing food people want to come back for.

Fresh seafood remains at the heart of Fish On, with dishes inspired by the Gulf of Mexico and the flavors of the Emerald Coast. But as Fish On has grown, so has the menu. Gio’s Italian roots are now finding their way onto the table through pizza, pasta, and other additions that give guests even more to choose from while staying true to the quality and value Fish On was built around.

Fish On is now a full table service restaurant, and we work to get your meal to the table quickly without sacrificing quality. Our mission is simple: “fresh, high-quality food, friendly service, and a great value”. What a concept!

Fresh Seafood, Pizza, Pasta & More

At Fish On Seafood House, we want everyone at the table to find something they’re excited about. Come in for the fresh catch and seafood favorites, try one of Gio’s pizzas or pasta dishes, or explore something new from our growing menu.

Our friendly, knowledgeable staff is always ready to offer suggestions and help make your visit a great one. Enjoy your meal inside or grab a table on our spacious outdoor patio and take in the laid-back Destin atmosphere.

Whether you’re stopping in after a day on Destin’s beautiful beaches, gathering with family and friends, craving fresh seafood, or simply in the mood for a great pizza or pasta, Fish On Seafood House is a place to relax, enjoy a great meal, and make a few memories along the way.
