Spoiler forThe descriptors are for a very American thing.

I was just about to post this, when I saw Williebear had just posted it and you denied it as the solution.
Spoiler for 6. Executive vs party.Grouper (Red Grouper, White Grouper, and Blue Grouper)???
As to the riddle 'style', am I correct in...Spoiler forThe clue is a 'cryptic crossword'-like clue, with the word "off" hinting that the other letters are "out of place", i.e., an anagram? E.g., "Turn keys to shear" comprises the letters for oyster (as it does shark, ray, skate and a few other fishes)

Sorry, no to #6. Try 1980's.Spoiler for .....
That's what I was working on, too ("southern Hake" was the closest I could get. "turn" could also imply an anagram.

Spoiler for The different 2are sound-outs.

Spoiler for I may yet need another hint.There are several types of clams ending in 'neck' (littleneck, longneck, shortneck, topneck, pinkneck), there are also a few razors. Due to the list of '*necks' the clam may belong to clue 11, yet due to the 'razors', the clam may belong to clue 12 ("...to shear off"). As to the oyster, the only common names I found that do not include the word 'oyster' are bluepoint and tio, or of the oyster-related 'scallop', pure and tipa. And I found nothing in the short list, with or without 'oyster'/'scallop' that strikes me as fitting either clue.
