Owned and operated by the Cooper family since 1948, Cooper’s Seafood House is a Scranton landmark with its nautical exterior and an interior filled with eclectic decor and memorabilia. The TV show “The Office“ filmed several episodes here, and the restaurant has become a destination for fans. The result is a one-of-a-kind dining experience with over 1,000 meals served daily at peak times.
People line up to dine on Maryland crab bisque, Rhode Island hard shell clams, Chilean sea bass, scallops, king crab, swordfish, halibut, and dozens of other menu options. Prior to 2018, Cooper’s Seafood House cooked using convection ovens and steam tables. Second-generation Co-Owner/Operator Paul Cooper remembers what it was like: “We were busy, constantly opening the oven door, the temperature was going down ...“
He knew it was time to update his kitchen equipment and began to research options. He chose RATIONAL combi ovens after seeing a CookingLive demo, then seeing them in use at Frank's Place, a restaurant 20 miles up the road. “I couldn't see how a RATIONAL would work in this kitchen. But that was key, seeing it in action, how it worked. Everything was timed. That clinched it for us.“
He was delighted to discover how well RATIONAL SelfCookingCenter® combi ovens perform in a busy à la carte operation.
