It previously caused a stir when it hit the shelves in 2020 for £1.05.
But they have doubled in price as the UK is still gripped by the cost-of-living-crisis despite falling inflation.
Customers criticised M&S for selling a product that they believe should be free.
Some said that is what their local chippies did when they were young.
The 50g tubs can be found in the fridge section at the retailers’ food halls.
The £2 item is described by M&S as ‘scraps of our light crispy batter’, as reported by Need To Know.
Lorna Cooper was left shocked by the item, stating: “I can’t believe that M&S are selling these.
“They are charging £2 for a tiny tub.
“We used to get these free from the chippy when we were kids.”
Claire Swann said: “They’re usually free from the chippy at the end of the day.”
Paul Hardy stated: “Can get them for free at any time of the day at chip shops near me.”
David John said: “Scraps are a waste product and should be free.”
Gareth Roberts jokingly said: “That’s not just chip shop scraps, that’s M&S chip shop scraps.”
Chris Clark stated: “I’d say they’re scraping the bottom of the fryer.”
Jane Bateman said: “The phrase more money than sense springs to mind.”
M&S has been approached for comment.
