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 mine where there's no time' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 'am' and 'am' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scampi that I've seen before include "Tasty prawns in batter" , "Breaded prawns" , "Dish of cooked shrimps or prawns" , "Dish of crustaceans" , "Dish of fried shrimp or prawns" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
