Prize puzzle from the Weekend FT of July 11, 2015.

My clue of the week has to be 16d, “Raw fish”, (BLEAK) in spite of its use of a rather obscure meaning of the word (the name of a small freshwater fish). I also especially like 27d (BALI).

I found this puzzle easy and as enjoyable as Mudds usually are. My clue of the week is 19d (FABULIST) and I would also single out 13a (LOBSTER POT).

I have adopted a new format for the blog this week but one that will be familiar to many of you as other bloggers on the site also use it. I am not sure yet whether I will stick with this format but will likely use it for the next few weeks.
