Taste fish when getting convoluted (8)
I believe the answer is:
tangling
'getting convoluted' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'taste fish' is the wordplay.
'taste' becomes 'tang' (tang is a kind of taste).
'fish' becomes 'ling' (ling is a kind of fish).
'tang'+'ling'='TANGLING'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tangling that I've seen is " Confusedly twisting".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
