Odd pace - cooked lobster for one (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

decapod

'lobster for one' is the definition.
(I know that lobster is a type of decapod)

'odd pace cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'odd'+'pace'='oddpace'
'oddpace' is an anagram of 'DECAPOD'.

(Other definitions for decapod that I've seen before include "sea creature" , "Say, crab" , "Crab or lobster" , "lobster, say" , "Such as shrimp or lobster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
