All are correct, except you reversed the reversal for 11.
It's NIPS as a reversal for SPIN.

5.Fish sample vegetable, not so quietly. (6)
hint: It's a vegetable alright, but always an ancillary veg, never independent (it better stay that way).
7.Argument in the meeting. (5)
hint: Surprised that this clue has not been cracked yet.

You may have been visualizing the sharp teeth of that menacing freshwater fish when you spelled it with two "r"s. Otherwise it's simply "gar" or "garfish." :-)

Re: THURSDAY CRYPTICS (6/20)
Thanks for posting a set at short notice, Indo. If no one volunteers, I'll post one next week. I'll make it somewhat easy if folks didn't like the last one.
