Is one eaten by fish somewhere in North Africa? (7)
I believe the answer is:
tunisia
'somewhere in north africa?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'is one eaten by fish' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'eaten by' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters get eaten).
'fish' becomes 'tuna' (tuna is a type of fish).
'is'+'i'='isi'
'isi' inserted into 'tuna' is 'TUNISIA'.
(Other definitions for tunisia that I've seen before include "African republic on the Mediterranean coast" , "Somewhere in North Africa" , "Land" , "As Inuit visits there in North Africa" , "N African country in which ancient Carthage lies" .)
