Bringing back some mussels in the Hebrides, say (5)
I believe the answer is:
isles
'bringing back some mussels in the hebrides say' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'bringing back some mussels in the hebrides' is the wordplay.
'bringing back' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'selsi' is hidden within 'mussels in hebrides'.
'selsi' in reverse letter order is 'ISLES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for isles that I've seen before include "British locations, say?" , "Hebrides, perhaps" , "The road to these is a wellknown Scottish song" , "The Hebrides for instance" , "Hebrides, for example" .)
