I'll go with that - scraps on top. Out of the paper not on a tray! Yup!

What's with this "scraps" jive?

It's "batter bits".

Is that a "sheffieldism", like their definition of a fishcake?

Is it b*llocks. It was what you called them at Sampey's chip shop at the bottom.of Clifton Street in Denaby in the 1970s.

Scraps! Where's your chuffing manhood?

[BillyStubbsTears]

OK what is a Fishcake? To me as a child of the 50's its 2 slices of tater with mashed fish in the middle fried in batter not this mashed up rubbish in breadcrumbs

That was a scallop in Denaby.

FOR GODS SAKE GET ONE OF THESE RECCOMMENDED CHIPPIES IN AT THE KEEPMOAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RedRover]

As this thread has turned into a best chippy discussion has anyone ever been to the chippy in Upton village, a few miles south of east of Gainsborough. It's known for it's traditional use of beef dripping for frying and it's original coal fired fryer. It only opens Friday evenings and Saturday lunch times and whenever I pass the place at those times there's cars parked everywhere, people literally drive hours to get fish and chips from them.

Despite only living a handful of miles away and my mum being friends with a women who worked there for over 30 years I've been twice. I don't really know what all the fuss is about but I'm guessing if you're older and grew up with or can remember chips fried in beef dripping using coal you'd probably think it's amazing. Me I prefer the place round the corner from my dads we used to get them from every Friday when I was younger.

Scraps 100% never been called owt else! fishcakes were (paste wi green bits in, breadcrumbed. The two tatties wi fish in middle were scollops in (woodlands 80s)

[Bentley Bullet]

We call em Fritters in Bentley!

[idler]

We call em Fritters in Bentley!

Only because you can't spell scallop.😉

[Bentley Bullet]

In Bentley, we call them Fritters. 'Scallops' sounds too much like 'b*llocks' for us posh folk in Bentley.

Living in Leeds, the Wetherby whaler is not bad but the best fish n chips by far is mr mughatroyds which is next to the airport.
Anyone who has a flight from Leeds Bradford should pop in the restaurant there for a billy murgh special

Going from Leeds Bradford shortly.
Bit early to be a eating Fish & Chips though at 7-30am as morning flight.

I do know the restaurant and have been in there just once to eat some years ago.
My Mother lived down the road in Bramhope from 1981 to 2014

I live in shadwell, not far from bramhope

They have no idea what a chicken and mushroom pie is up here in Newcastle

It was a scallop in Bolton on Dearne back in the 60s.  And, BST... it was always Scraps.  F*cking 'batter bits'.  Denaby scrote going faint at the mention of a scrap.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Sounds about reyt for a Bolton scrap. Fragile bits of fat.

And you'd have got YOUR bits battered if you'd come to Denaby and said that.

[i_ateallthepies]

That's scary, as a pen picture of me, you've pretty much nailed it BST.

[turnbull for england]

Woman at our works is from Sheffield, and she (wrongly) maintains a scallop is a fishcake and vice versa, and don't get her started on ginnel/ snicket as wrong there too. Genuinely interesting though how different things are over such a short area.

[Bentley Bullet]

Us posh folk in Bentley don't say 'ginnel', because it sounds too much like 'kinnel'. We say 'back passage'.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Ginnel/snicket my arse.

It's an "entry".

[turnbull for england]

Snicket is a footpath, ginnel the walkway between two houses with roof above

[Filo]

Scraps, Fritter around our parts, it’s the same argument regarding bread cakes

[Not Now Kato]

Yep, it's Tripe and Pease Pudding up there.

Anybody remember the mobile fish 'n chip van that used to drive round back in the day?
It used to call down our street in Wheatley Hills on a Friday evening. Like an ice cream van but for fish and chips.
As a kid, I used to look forward to it arriving outside our house, getting my fish 'n chips, then watching Budgie on the telly.

Happy days!

Looking back, it was probably a Health & Safety nightmare, driving round the streets with all that hot fat on board.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Never had one of them vans in Denaby but there were chippies pretty much at the end of every street.

What I DO remember was the fruit and veg "hawker" van, with a porn calendar pinned up behind the passenger seat.

Always used to volunteer to go and get the veg when he turned up...

[Bentley Bullet]

One thing that's never changed is there's nowt better than the sight of a nice juicy pear.

[Bentley Bullet]

Not so much as keen on the plums, though.

My Dad used to work for an Ironmongers  that had a  rickety  ( ex wartime) delivery van that went round all the small villages .  Among  the may items  carried  were all  sorts of household and garden chemicals, paraffin, LPG, and shotgun cartridges, sounds like something ISIS would think needed a risk assessment for

That's one helluva way of coming out BST

[bahrain rover]

To be honest outside of West Yorkshire I don't rate fish and chips. and as for the fish its self, it has to be Haddock. For me one of the best around is just over the boarder, Bell Lane fisheries in Ackworth.

[ravenrover]

I believe Franks son is running one in South Kirkby and Frank is helping out

[Axholme Lion]

Has any one heard of the Castle Cake and which chippy it is or was from?

[Sprotyrover]

Ginnel/snicket my arse.

he’s wrong it’s a Ginnel
