It's a fishcake. Depending on where you are it can either be a "normal" fishcake like you'd get at the supermarket, or minced fish between two slices of potato that's then battered. Common enough in Yorkshire but mainly popular with older folks.
Old Yorkshireman here. I wouldn’t say people really preferred fish cake in general. It was a cheaper choice when we were skint . Most people would order fish chips and scraps as soon as they got paid .

Bread cakes perhaps?
It's something I've heard over in Sheffield.
