I have never heard of a scallop being called a potato cake or vice versa.  Flake and gummy shark I'm not sure. You just don't hear of flake any more except maybe you still do in a fish and chip shop but everyone knew that flake was shark anyway.

Edit: LOL I don't think they sell chops at the chippie.

deli has taken on a new meaning, i remember them in the early days as euro meat shops in n.s.w and qld

in melbourne they were milk bars , in adelaide the same thing was a deli. then there was the continental delicatessen with smallgoods and cheeses , coffee and rather stiff-looking fish hanging around.  it's starting to make me dizzy.

Brad and Dale had a debate over scallop/potato cake on The Block.

Dale argued that a scallop is not made from potatoes and Brad

argued that cakes are not made from potatoes either

lol

milk bar"? haha, i do actually remember a shop sign here years ago in vic park

there was a genuine deli walking distance from my previous house in wilson, so handy and it was like i was in heaven, lol

forget the shop title though, it was kinda hidden away they sold stuff mainly to wholesalers

 i preferred fish and chop shop , i had this picture of fishermen tearing stolen subaru's apart in the off season in my head

Potato scallops here.  Flake was always a fancy name for shark.

What about pluto pups and dagwood dogs.

sounds like a good shop joz,  a shop without a heap of signage probably got by on good products and services

Oh, I get it.  We do have potato scallops.  They are battered potato cakes.  Scallops are just scallops.

yep LL, they would offer meats from such and such a country and say you gotta try this.

word of mouth.. i would say, and i recommended them to quite a few people including my mother!

scallops here too, like a huge round chip

scallops here in nsw never heard them called potato cakes til I live in Melbourne for a while. Asked for scallops in a Springvale fish n chip shop and got these horrible little orangley snaily fishy smelling things in batter. erk.
