Not Scampi frys, those I do know - usually bought off a card hanging up in pubs!. Ethel's link shows them being called Burton's Fish and chip snacks.

I seem to remember the old packets were newspaper print all over with large red writing /border at the top. My kids used to love them and they were so cheap - cheaper than crisps although the bags were smaller
