Fish on has amazing food! It's the best sea food I've had in Destin and Walton Beach. The restaurant was very clean as well as the bathrooms. The staff were very friendly.

Fish On delivers an impressive seafood experience without breaking the bank—a rare find in Destin! Chef Giovanni Filippone and his team have crafted a menu that blends efficiency with high-quality, flavorful dishes. The shrimp boil had the perfect level of spice, while the grilled triple tail was buttery, flaky, and expertly seasoned. Standout appetizers like the portobello mushroom dish and the avocado crab salad showcase their creativity. Plus, the service was top-notch, with both owners personally checking in.
A special highlight of the evening was getting to chat with Gio himself, who shared stories about his time on *Hell’s Kitchen* with Gordon Ramsay over two seasons. His passion for food and hospitality was evident, making the experience even more memorable.
And while seafood shines here, don’t overlook the burger. Cooked to order and topped with a bacon jalapeño jam, it strikes the perfect balance of sweet and spice—an unexpected but delicious surprise on the menu. If you’re looking for fresh, affordable seafood with a welcoming touch (and maybe a great behind-the-scenes TV story), Fish On is a must-try!
Great experience with good food. Seafood was cooked crisp yet flaky. Server was friendly. All in all experience was above average, but not amazing…..was better than the Crab

Okay. I'll be honest. We walked in and walked right back out. Some of the people in our party weren't feeling it. But, some of us kept mentioning how great the reviews were and we decided to give it a try. So, we came back in and ordered. The ordering style is interesting, because you order with the cashier. Our group of 8 ordered a variety of items and the food was great! I personally had grits and blackened mahi mahi and I ate every bite! My husband had grouper which did have a few bones in it but he still enjoyed it. The hush puppies were great, I would have liked a whole order of them! Kids were happy with their meals and the outside seating was a nice option for the beautiful weather. Staff were friendly! Drinks were good--their happy hour prices are insanely amazing!

Great food and great staff. They are so nice so probably if the food would be bad you would still go there. But the food is great too.

The food at this restaurant was delicious! The Greek salad was amazing, and the portions were humongous. The staff is so friendly—highly recommended!

The food was very good. Presentation of the plates looked delightful. Food was served within a reasonable time frame and delivered hot as expected. We had 2 orders of lobster tacos, one salad, one shrimp broil, and one order of avocado toast (can't remember with what though). Very flavorful all around.

Nice little place with a lot of heart. Fish tacos were very authentic and had a lot of fresh flavor. Hubs had mahi plate and raved about it. Family friendly. Clean and bright. Nice ambiance. Friendly, attentive staff.

Plates were awesomely done. The music was on point. We were the only ones in the restaurant, so of course, the service was great. I took away one star for food ONLY because it wasn't memorable to me. Creative? Yes. Flavorful? Sure. But it was still missing something.
I had chicken cinnabun (Brunch item).
