Scraps (batter)
Deep-fried batter often served with fish and chips / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scraps or batter bits or crispies are pieces of deep-fried batter left over in the fryer as a by-product of frying fish, and are served as an accompaniment to chips.[1] They are traditionally served free of charge with chips by some fish and chip shops in the United Kingdom,[2] although some places charge for the scraps.[2][3]
Terminology varies by region. In some parts of the north of England, they are referred to as scratchings or bits[4] or dubs;[citation needed] in the West Country they are known as gribbles.[5]
