Fish, pay attention - it's a big one! (8). ?A?S?A?K. I had thought this might be Saws(hark). However, according to my reckoning this should be a themed clue and therefore should be a non-word. Any ideas?
Many thanks Aperio.

BAS (KING) SHARK. You have to insert the whole word for King, not just the K

Yes it is a themed clue. K (King) in BASS + HARK (pay attention)

Hi Kayakamina,

Thanks for replying.

I'd thought of "basshark" as the eight-letter cryptic answer but could not derive a word for the definition, which is presumably a large fish.

I can not see that inserting a K would produce a fish - or am I missing something?
