Takes out small fillets (6)
I believe the answer is:
steaks
'fillets' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'takes out small' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'takes' is an anagram of 'steak'.
'steak'+'s'='STEAKS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steaks that I've seen before include "They can be round, T-bone or fillet" , "Cuts of meat" .)
