Nearly in alphabetical order (6)
almost?
Sea animal (2 words, 5 and 3)Large Fish (7 letters)
CBA to check whole thread, but conga eel and grouper, hard? really?
almost?
Well done, fan of Mark Billingham, by chance?
Sea animal could be loads of things, but conga eel unlikely as its a conger eel. Manta Ray or Moray Eel more likely
Large fish could also be other things just as likely as Grouper - halibut? Need to know other letters to decide
They are cryptic so not just the names of fish. Answers are in previous posts (and all of the above are wrong 8) ). The second one was a bit meh IMO but someone will like it.
God running amok - Godzilla?
Well done, fan of Mark Billingham, by chance?
Never heard of him. Just thought the clue would be 'nearly' so thought of an answer for that. And then checked the letters were in alphabetical order 🙂
