Dixie Fish Company recently celebrated 10 years of business. The milestone represents the beginning of the current restaurant on Fort Myers Beach, while honoring over 85 years of history as a destination for the freshest seafood in Southwest Florida.
Originally established on Fort Myers Beach in 1937 as The Dixie Fish Co., a wholesale and retail fish market, the waterfront restaurant honors its origins by serving the catch of the day and signature menu items, including apple moonshine-spiked mussels, grouper “cheeks” and Yucatan shrimp.
“Dixie Fish Company has become a staple on Fort Myers Beach, and it’s been an honor to serve our community these past 10 years,” said Joe Harrity, a partner with HM Restaurant Group, which owns and operates Dixie Fish Company. “The restaurant carries on the tradition and heritage of the original fish house as the premier place for seafood and as a proprietor of the area’s culinary history.”
