Rather greasy seafood with a dry stuffing (7)
I believe the answer is:
fattish
'rather greasy' is the definition.
(somewhat fat or greasy)
'seafood with a dry stuffing' is the wordplay.
'seafood' becomes 'fish' (fish is a kind of seafood).
'with' indicates putting letters inside.
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'stuffing' indicates putting letters inside.
'fish' going around 'a' is 'faish'.
'faish' enclosing 'tt' is 'FATTISH'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
