Oh, I thought I'd looked up meagre in Chambers and didn't see fish! Must have been sloppy.
Ok, lastly, help me complete 21a and 21d?

After completing the puzzle with all the omitted letters re-homed I'm left with a fairly large quibble. The setter promises that ambiguities will (actually 'may') be resolved - but 5dn could be either GOWNS or GOANS. I don't submit but hope the editor/checkers are aware of this failing.

I think it needs to be gowns as you need the A for one of the across answers. You don't need a W as far as I can see.

Sorry, my oversight. Of course that's correct.

I'm sorted apart from the original grid entry at 15a. It can only be "UNI" but not a clue about the four letter solution.

Seems an anomoly that in such a difficult puzzle the original answer isn't required for a correct final grid.

Thanks😊

I had the heartless nazi, but my German dictionary gave me "nach" for "to".

Just updated my Bradford's with the New Mexico river!!
