Seafood: have most of mine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scampi

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

'seafood' is the definition.
(type of seafood)

'have most of mine' is the wordplay.
'have' becomes 'scam' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'most of' means to remove the last letter.
'mine' becomes 'pit' (down the pit).
'pit' with its last letter taken away is 'pi'.
'scam'+'pi'='SCAMPI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scampi that I've seen before include "Tasty prawns in batter" , "Dish of deep-friend prawns" , "Fish dish, often in rings" , "Dish of fried shrimp or prawns" , "Large prawns as food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Sun.
