Sea area promising a quick catch? (7)
I believe the answer is:
fastnet
'sea area promising a' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'quick catch?' is the wordplay.
'quick' becomes 'fast' (similar in meaning).
'catch?' becomes 'net' (netting is a kind of catching).
'fast'+'net'='FASTNET'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fastnet that I've seen before include "area next to Lundy" , "A sea area; a yacht race" , "Rock off Co. Cork" , "shipping forecast area" .)
