Neville- yes second word is a piece of seafood.

Though how to parse "tucking right into" I have no clue

You wouldn't say "it's a carnivore, but not a strict one, so it can't be that, then", would you?

I think there's some differentiation made between obligate and non-obligate carnivores based on whether their diets are 100% meat based

No, chrise, but you might say ‘I can rule out the ones that aren’t.’

I mean it narrows the field. I can’t see that there’s anything wrong with it.

Hi rogissimo
I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with it, just that the clue works perfectly well without "strict".

Chipping away with help from previous posters so many thanks!

Have a solution (assume def: "with feeling" for 10A I can only half-parse. Anyone enlighten me as to what the bit about tennis is all about?

And 26A - again pretty sure I have right answer but "sent back" doesn't work with my solution.

Thanks in advance!
