Snail Charlie found amongst storage at sea (8)
I believe the answer is:
escargot
'snail' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'charlie found amongst storage at sea' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'charlie' could be 'c' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 'c' is found within the answer.
'found' could be 'got' ('get' can be a synonym of 'find') and 'got' is present in the answer.
an anagram of 'sea' is 'esa' which is within the left over letters.
A single letter 'r' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for escargot that I've seen before include "One continually moving house" , "Got scare from edible French snail" , "national delicacy" , "Hardly fast food" , "French delicacy" .)
