Hook and Cook
The phrase "Hook and Cook" refers to a delightful dining experience available throughout Okaloosa Island and Destin, Florida, also known as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village." When you go fishing in Destin's pristine waters, you're likely to reel in some delicious fish - whether it's snapper, grouper, mahi mahi, or other local species. Instead of taking your fish home raw, many restaurants along the Destin Harbor offer a truly unique service. You can bring your freshly caught fish fillets straight off the boat from your fishing trip to these restaurants.
Once you arrive at the restaurant, the chefs will prepare your fish according to your preference giving you several options to choose from:
Alongside your cooked fish, you can choose from a variety of sides. Fresh coleslaw and hush puppies are popular choices. Imagine enjoying your meal with a beautiful view of the harbor and the salty breeze after a fun day out on the water - it's a memorable experience for all!
This dining option is not only delicious, but affordable. Plus, there's no clean up involved - and you get to savor your catch without any hassle. So, when you visit Destin, Florida, consider fishing with Scallywag Charters and try the "cook your catch' fishing charter experience. It's a fantastic way to enjoy the freshest seafood while taking in the coastal charm of this lucky fishing village!
Looking for a private chef? Treat yourselves to the exceptional skills of Chef Tommy Lemasters at Artistic Catering. He'll turn your Catch of the Day into a culinary masterpiece. We highly recommend Chef Tommy for an unforgettable dining experience!

The World's Luckiest Fishing Village
Destin, Florida holds the esteemed title of the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village". Destin's claim to fame lies in its strategic location . Nestled along the Emerald Coast of the Gulf of Mexico, it enjoys proximity to some of the most fertile fishing grounds. The combination of the warm Gulf waters and the Choctawhatchee Bay creates an ideal habitat for a diverse range of fish species.
The waters around Destin and Okaloosa Island are a haven for inshore bay fishing. The clean, clear Gulf waters flow into the bay daily, bringing with them abundant bait fish. This influx sustains a thriving ecosystem, allowing fish populations to flourish. As a result, the fish caught here have a distinct flavor compared to those from other bays and bayous.
Whether you're planning to cook your catch at your Airbnb, resort or vacation rental or dine at one of the local restaurants offering a "cook your catch" experience, you're in for a treat. The fish from Destin's bay waters have a unique taste - a testament to the pristine environment they inhabit.
Destin's combination of abundant fish, picturesque setting, and the opportunity to savor your catch makes it truly deserving of the title "Word's Luckiest Fishing Village".

- For Multi-Boat Fishing Charters, we typically have 3-4 passengers per boat. We recommend no more than 4 adult passengers per vessel due to weight restrictions and comfort. Please plan accordingly.
