To ask if you've heard of a potato scallop

[greathat]

When I was a teenager I'd quite often buy a potato scallop for 20p from the chippy on the walk home from swimming. It was a slice of battered potato and was delicious. Where I live now no one has heard of them. Have you and if yes where do you live? :)

It's a fritter here

YES!! It’s deep fried potato slice in batter, I used to get them from the chippy on the way home too! Mmmmn

I had a scallop with my chippie tea just last night. Delicious. One thing I can’t seem to get found here is a pea fritter

Yes but only because they're in an Austrailian cookbook of mine. Never seen one in real life.

Yes, East Midlands. Chippy still sells them.

Yes, In Australia every chippy has them and they are delish!

Yes. Still sell them round these parts.
Yorkshire!

I’m in Yorkshire by the way

Never had one until recently. From Belfast but now live in Manchester. They are bloody delicious.

Yes, staple food growing up..scallop butty & Still available in my local chippy.

West Yorkshire here

I love a potato scallop - think I might need to visit to change dinner plans tonight.....

Yep. Scalloped potatoes

Yep me, love them with vinegar. Can't get them from the local chippy anymore though, my FIL makes the best. Rochdale (Lancashire).

Potato fritter in scotland

I'm from Brum and live in Northants. I miss them :)

Yes, delicious. Always call just 'scallops' when I was growing up. I was well into adulthood before I discovered that there was any other sort of scallop.

Sorry, I’m in Yorkshire too.

I was an adult before I realised that there was any other type of scallop too. I am from South Wales.

My Salfordian granny used to make them, yummy!

They sell them in our chippy in Birmingham, I think they're 70p. Are they nice? I didnt think they sounded great so haven't tried one yet!

Yes but I’m from Queensland. The food of the Gods. Other parts of Australia call them potato cakes and potato fritters.

Yep same here, South Wales. Didn't realise a Scallop was a Fish until I watched Come fine with me about 3 years ago

50p round here

My gran used to do potato and corned beef slices (stacked like a sandwich), battered and deep fried and called them scallops.
