Calls wildly for work and something to eat (7)
I believe the answer is:
scallop
'something to eat' is the definition.
(scallop is a kind of food)
'calls wildly for work' is the wordplay.
'wildly' indicates an anagram.
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'work' becomes 'op' (abbreviation for opus).
'calls' anagrammed gives 'scall'.
'scall'+'op'='SCALLOP'
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for scallop that I've seen before include "Shapely dish" , "Bivalve with radiating ridges on shell" , "Shellfish that's also plc" , "Seafood - shell" , "one may be in one's shell" .)
