When frying food (e.g., fish), scraps are the by-product pieces of deep-fried batter left over in the fryer. They are served as an accompaniment to chips. [1] In the UK, they are traditionally served free of charge with chips by some fish and chip shops, [2] although some places charge for the scraps. [2] [3]
Terminology varies by region, with terms including scraps, [1] batter bits, [1] crispies, [4] and scrumps. [5] In some parts of the north of England, they are referred to as scratchings,bits, [6] or dubs; [5] in the West Country, they are known as gribbles, [7] [5] whilst they are called screeds in Cornwall. [8] In the US, they may also be referred to as cracklins, crunchies, or crumbs. [9]
Scraps in fryers can cause fires and should be properly disposed. [5]
