Chips with scraps

Scrapsorbatter bitsorcrispies 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]ordubs;[citation needed] in the West Country, they are known as gribbles.[5]
