Seafood left by a Scotsman eating nothing but eggs, in part (9)
I believe the answer is:
langouste
'seafood' is the definition.
(langouste is a kind of seafood)
'left by a scotsman eating nothing but eggs in part' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'left' could be 'l' (common abbreviation) and 'l' is found within the answer.
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
'nothing' could be 'o' (O resembles 0) and 'o' is found in the answer.
'part' could be 'te' (te is a kind of part) and 'te' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'gus' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for langouste that I've seen before include "Spiny lobster without large claws" , "Shellfish" , "One in the sea" , "Sea creature" , "Swimmer" .)
