More endless short fish swallowed by local glutton over in place of depravity (8)

I believe the answer is:

gomorrah

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'place of depravity' is the definition.
'gomorrah' can be an answer for 'place' (I have seen 'wicked place' mean 'gomorrah' so perhaps 'place' could also mean 'gomorrah'). I'm not sure about the 'of depravity' bit.

'more endless short fish swallowed by local glutton over' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'more' could be 'mo' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'mo' is present in the answer.
'fish' could be 'go' (synonyms) and 'go' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for gomorrah that I've seen before include "Old Sin City by the Dead Sea" , "With Sodom, a depraved town of ancient Palestine" , "wicked city" , "doomed city" , "Sodom and ........ were notorious Biblical cities" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
