Yorkshire people, is it bits or scraps?

[GetThatHelmetOn]

If you are from Yorkshire, where are you from and what do you call the crumbs that fall off fried fish?

Asking for a friend...

A slice of fish and with batter round it is a fish cake
Fish mashed with potato in breadcrumbs is a rissole
A sandwich is made with a bread cake
A tea cake is a breadcake with currents in
It's a pikelet not a crumpet

Time40 hate to break it to you but Wi'bits in Mirfield closed down about a year ago

Nooooo! I was up there about a month ago. I didn't actually stop in the town centre, but I drove through, and I could have sworn I saw it. One sees what one expects to see, I suppose. Oh dear - how sad.

It's still a chippy but new owners and name.

Bits. Fish, chips and bits.. Huddersfield

Originally from South Leeds. The following is correct:
Scraps
Fish cake (fish between potato then battered)
Scallop (battered potato)
Ginnel
Breadcake (a teacake has fruit in)
Skiving

Very outing but my all time favorite memory from my northern uni was our first day out as a group and my (very southern and posh) flatmates getting excited that Scallops were only 15p and the chippy. The looks on their faces when presented with the delicious battered potato was priceless. I didn't have the heart to tell them it wasn't the shellfish scallop. It was the beginning or a learning curve for most of them.

It does seem that “bits” is very localised to Kirklees.

Scraps.

But I'm from County Durham 😂

My Grandmother, who grew up in Manchester and Sheffield used to call those bits that stick to the pan when you roast potatoes, the ‘gubbins’.

I’m from Huddersfield op and it was definitely ‘bits’ in all our local chippies. Maybe it’s a Huddersfield thing.
I have spent the last 35 yrs in the West Midlands where they don’t know how to cook fish and chips. A portion down here could feed a family of six in West Yorkshire.

@InDubiousBattle

Scraps, I'm in West Yorkshire (Bradford). My friend in Halifax says 'bits' though. What do you call two pieces of potato with a thin layer of fish in the middle (then battered)? This seems to cause more arguments among my Friends!

Scallops

The' Gubbins' is what comes out of the womb after a baby is born everybody knows that :)

I think it is.

DH is Leeds born and bred and called them scraps until he moved to Kirklees!

DP is from Kirklees and he says bits

I'm in awe of there being so many local mnetters!!

Scraps. Can’t believe this thread has nine pages when there is only one definitive answer!

Scraps - South Yorkshire

There's no fish in a scallop.

I didn't realise that other places in the country don't have scraps!
That's so sad

@BarbaraofSeville ginnells or snickets. Or a ten foot?

Give us a croggy will you?

A Croggy down ten foot to chippy for some scraps and a bread cake

I'm from o'er th boarder in Lancashire and it's scraps here!

Not going to school

Wagging
Skiving
Playing (as in are you poorly or playing)
Sagging off

Did anyone else get told to, "go lake on' the fast lane of th' m1" when a parent wanted some peace?

We also had 'pagmag' which was basically any fancy food, or food that had been 'messed with'. All the deconstructed stuff would be referred to as pagmag

Bits, teacake and potato slice/fish/potato slice battered is a fish cake.

A snicket is an open walkway path you use to get between two public places. A ginnel is a passage with a roof on used to access the rear of a house or building.

I drove back thorough today for the first time in in yonks. It's mirfield fisheries now and has some very smart looking sign and looks very nice. Not like the old Wi'bits at all 😂😂😂
