Scraps are left-over bits of batter from frying things.

So things they'd bin if it wasn't for northern types refusing to let things go to waste.

What people in the South might call 'waste bits'
and throw away. Us northeners think 'yum, extra deep fried batter with no protein to sully it'.

Are they ordered as 'scrap'
Or is that just a nickname for this dubious delicacy?

You would ask for extra scraps
Except in poncy places that charge you for them.

I don't think I could ever order 'scrap'
It would be like going to the supermarket and getting some food, and then asking if you can dig through the bins out the back for a free french stick or something.

You know that group of pikeys that descends on the out of date bin in the chiller section
so they can get 20p off a microwave dinner?

Yeah, that's mr b3th.

"Scraps", is the Yorkshire term.

Bits of batter from the fish,
occasionally containing bits of fish. Traditionally given free, a lot of places now charge for them.
