People shop by price, unfortunately.

Scampi BITES

What a Joke.

Gloria Huniford is a rancid old troll.

Great

Very rarely will you have cooks shell things like this, they usually process it automatically through a machine so it should be dirt cheap!

If you want to buy real, quality scampi then open your pockets.

THAT'S WHY IT'S CALLED SCAM- pi.

What a rip off

Can't blame EU regulations anymore.....

I recently paid £40 for "packs of scampi" from a company in Grimsby, what a "con" !!!!! when you break away the double dipped batter it was next to no meat/flesh at all........ Bloody disgraceful....... 🤢

What pish 😂

I haven't had fish and chips for ages!!? 💥My last one was a fish cut in half!!???? 🇬🇧💫And cost me £12✨the shop has closed now👀sick of being ripped off✌️

Very intelligent Women, Gloria Hunniford a beautiful Lady.

Logic dictates that there should also be a market for 100% breading at half the price.

The best 'scampi' is monkfish!!!

It’s been GOING ON FOR YEARS ,cheap BREADED SCAMPY contained any white fish meat available .common knowledge

By jove! Perkins, I do believe we are being positively swindled.

Even as a kid in the 60s we knew that this stuff was Monkfish Tails.

I was raised in Brixham Devon. In the 70s monkfish had little market value, so the pubs cut it up into small chunks battered n fried it. Mock scampi was on the menu. Funny thing is that since the foodies discovered monk in late 80s, monkfish is now more expensive than pukka scampi tails.

It's simply Scampi vs Fish bites Most fish eating people would still eat fresh fish bites just stop trying to rip us all off with scampi prices for something that isn't actually scampi That is exactly the point

this is so spot on...youcan taste the difference between real scampi and the fish mush you get in some products...and i guess the catering establishments are going to give us he cheap "scampi" products

Dont buy processed food and then complain its not the real thing .By this time its certainly no secret that processed food is no worth buying. Eat clean , learn to cook

so bascilly its fish bites and not scampi bite,

Good onya lady 👍

Read the ingredients..its their cop out from being sued..a cover your a**e exercise.you dont get diamonds for beer money..simple really

Who cares? How about eat more veg and stfu

The firms that put the scam into scampi.

It is a numbers game. Do a taster test & you will be lucky if 10% know what they are eating i.e. 9 out of 10 won't know what it is.

I ordered it in a pub and what came were battered crab sticks strangely enough it wasn’t scampi but really tasty , I tried it at home , really nice , get crab stick flour them dip in batter 8 mins in fat 👍

Don’t buy scampi any more as it’s all a rip off, as far as I am concerned it’s off the menu……..Brian

I would never eat scampi in UK ....

We all live in RIP OFF Britain,........we ALL know we pay twice as much as any other Nation for these SHODDY goods...... That's why 'jonny foreigner' is falling over himself to get a SALE of his/hers grossly overpriced goods in RIP OFF BRITAIN to inflate his/hers PROFITS. This is just another story of the same issue.

Wow, what a rip off

But Brits ALWAYS put up and shut up since restaurants and hotels are for the upper classes, not the lower classes, anyway. We really know nothing about hospitality (Ritz and Claridge's an exception to this rule: run by upper class people who treat lower classes fairly. Its only the _nouveaux_ that treat lower classes like excrement. I used to include the Savoy in this league / my rule but they've changed significantly with their selective attitude recently, well since their refurb.) If we were welcomed into a snooty restaurant in the old days, then the very fact we were welcomed in at all was seen as a privilege. So if we then stuck our necks out and complained thusly: "Hmmm, this is not scampi waiter!" we'd never be allowed back inside. I only ever complained myself about _anything_ until well into my 40s. My point is: have things changed now are we allowed now to vocalise our disharmony when things go awry? WOW I'M IMPRESSED. I'm old and retired and live abroad now as you may gather. For entertainment / educational purposes only!

ALWAYS been well known Monkfish was used as faux scampi! Since Monkfish is a luxury fish noone seemed to mind. For entertainment / educational purposes only!

if it's served in a restaurant, it should be 100% scampi. if you're buying the cheap stuff for a quick dinner for the kids then that's fine too.

i know a even bigger scam that's going with dentists

Scampi was originally Languistine, but over fishing decimate the catches, so monk fish tail was used in place, as it was cheaper and more available.

"Whitby Scampi" is caught in the Atlantic, processed in Northern Ireland, then packed near Whitby. It never sees Whitby town, never mind the fishing vessels.

Something fishy about this story

In 1969 I was working as a boat builder near Maldon in Essex. There was a lad there who had his own fishing boat and would go out sea fishing. His catches mainly consisted of Flounder, all of which were bought by the local Chinese Restaurant , and was cut an shaped to look like Scampi, flavoured with shrimp paste and sold as Scampi in the restaurant! So nothing new here we have been ripped off for decades by retailers and sellers.

The old lady in this video complaining about the quality the scampi I don’t wish to sound nasty but she sounds like a bit of a Muppet every single time I have been into a restaurant or café to order scampi you can tell what you’re getting because it will say whole tail scampi where if you are getting the less quality fish mix type it just normally says scampi and quite often the price reflects it as well. It’s not a golden rule but I have never ever been into a place where they have advertised whole tail scampi on the menu and then the restaurant of served me the cheaper offerings when you go into a place and you it says scampi and I’ve ordered it. It’s always been the cheaper, type you can tell it just seems like this old lady here was not quite street smart what she’s looking for

Iv just found out that iv basically never had scampi in my life despite ording it a hundred times in pubs 😂 a real eye open er

Can't see any scampi, just a bunch of old trout...

Cod’s cheeks and tongues are often used as scampi .

I thought that cod is also really expensive.

Let the buyer beware.

Langinstein Tail.
