Glad to hear you're a fan though thanks...😉 I don't want to call you nag(as in horse😀)is N ok?.or what?.Anyway,I had never given the origin of 'scran" a thought before and it's not a word I use often but to me it just means food.Do you live in Geordie land at the moment?. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seen some commercials in my younger days so I kind of thought it might be for the English Folks since Fish & Chips are a big item over there.

Nice talking with you and anytime you want a blether!!!! The Northumberland coastline is beautiful, as is Durham especially the cathedral...Beamish is class! I live south of the Tyne...just lol...😁 There's a fair bit of development work all along the river. Gateshead is starting to challenge Newcastle for a great night out and they have an amazing music venue called the SAGE... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haddock was always the No.1 fish used but a number of years ago due to overfishing limits were put on how many could be caught.This resulted in fish like Vietnamese cobbler,Hake, and various others being introduced.Cod which is more popular in England now became more widely used here.What's happened now is Haddock stocks have recovered and Cod is limited.Edinburgh has a Population of nearly half a million and god knows how many "Chippys" there are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Haddock but I have a liking for Halibut a lot more. Halibut is expensive but it's worth it. 2 Pieces of Halibut and Chips with Gravy is close to $25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
