There's a guy, works down the chip shop... on 09:57 - Mar 22 by SitfcB
I always thought it was a regular thing, everywhere, but just seen a conversation on Twitter where a couple of people have no idea about them.
That could be just a generational thing though, especially in this age when your standard chippie has a temperature prong to stick in the middle of battered cod (or is it haddock?) to check the temperature so that they don't get sued for causing food poisoning. Asking for the scattered remains of fish, chips, sausages, deep fried pizza...that has spent six hours in reprocessed low grade cooking fat probably probably opens up chip shop owners to more accusations of foodie misdemeanours than McDonald's these days.

I think maybe they call them different things in different areas, crispies or similar - I don't know this, just a guess.
I still though remain surprised that "On the drag" is a completely Suffolk - and possibly Norfolk thing.
My wife calls potato fritters scallops which I had never heard of until I met her - despite living in Suffolk all my adult life. You used to be able to buy them in fish and chip shops in Ipswich. Maybe it's a UK term I hadn't heard of, I don't know. I just know a scallop as an overrated shell fish
