An old saying dab

[Mr magoo 10]

My cousin in pontefract has been reading an old book, which relates to Sheffield , with a saying in it, chips and fish and a dab please, anyone know what it means, I know dab is another name for a fish, but surely someone wouldn't say dab after asking for chips and fish.

I thought a potato fried in batter was a scallop.

 

Although to the rest of the country a scallop is a shellfish.

I remember it being used for fingers.

Yeah, exactly that, 'I'll give you a bleedin' dab round the ear.' But maybe we were brought up in more violent times.

Remember it well. The stock reply was "Can't, it's a bull!"

I remember it as also meaning a small amount of something,

" All she wore was a dab of perfume behind each ear"..
