We had fish and chips for supper today. Not a regular occurrence. DH tried to remember the name for the bags of batter pieces one used to be able to buy.
He said scraps but I am sure when I lived in South Wales there was a different name. Perhaps scrumps ?
Do you have any others?

I worked in a fish and chips shop in my teens. We called them scraps.

I don’t think I ever saw scallops in a fish and chip shop. The nearest we got to a slice of potato dipped in batter was a fish cake - two slices of potato with a slice of fish in the middle, dipped in batter and fried.

They sell them at Harry Ramsdens Greyduster, they are really popular there, and you can buy frozen Harry Ramsdens ones too.

We always called them gribbles in Devon. They were free which was perfect when my friends and I were students .
