MAS(CARP)ON,E

Container/contained cum charade

Manual worker – MASON
eats – container/contained ind.
fish – CARP
tail found in the – tail found in “the” – that is, E
cheese – def. for reqd word

with cheese’s end as the ‘e’.

16 across is mascarpone, although apart from carp for the fish element of the clue I can’t make the rest of it fit. 14 down is scallop – call (market) inside so (very) + p (heart of Capri).
