I hope so; last time I was there was about three years ago (they've been there more than twenty years), and it was about the best fish'n'chips I'd ever had.  Now, the coating *was* crunchy and a bit greasy, which is as it should be, I think, but the fish wasn't dry.

I have eaten the fish and chips at Cook's twice in the last couple of months and thought it was as good as ever.  I brought along two friends on one occassion who had never tried it before and they also thought it was delicious.
