Another Cape Cod institution is going to be closing its doors permanently.
According to a source, Cooke's Seafood in Hyannis is shutting down for good later this fall, with a Facebook post from the place confirming this, saying the following in a Facebook post:
After 43 seasons, Cooke's Seafood in Hyannis is closing its doors for the last time on Sunday, November 29, 2020. The Haidas Family is proud to have consistently served the best in seafood with a friendly smile. Our customers' dedication to Cooke's has been a blessing, and we thank each of you for your support throughout the decades. We are also grateful to our long time staff, who have always been part of our family. Please join us this fall so we can thank you in person and say a proper goodbye to a long standing tradition.
Cooke's is known in part for its fried seafood options including such dishes as fried oysters, clams, shrimp, scallops, sole, and calamari, while also offering broiled and grilled seafood, lobster rolls, stuffed quahogs, and more.
A few other well-known Cape Cod restaurants have closed over the past few months, including The Lobster Claw in Orleans and the Roadhouse Cafe in Hyannis, the latter of which is for sale and shuttered "for the foreseeable future." (It appears that Cooke's Seafood locations in Mashpee and Orleans will remain in operation, though if we hear otherwise, we will post an update here.)
The address for Cooke's Seafood in Hyannis is 1120 Iyannough Road, Hyannis, MA, 02601. The website for the restaurant is at https://cookesseafood.com/
