If you mean all the little bits of batter that you can then have on top of your chips, well I've always called them scraps, but I always remember my dad (who is from Newcastle) calling them scramptions. No idea where the word comes from, I never used to use it 'cos I thought it was a silly word, but anyway, that's what he called them.

in the midlands they call them scratchings & they are yummy bits of crispy batter that has fallen away from the fish when frying.
