Due to the Lock Ness Monster's plesiosaurus-like form (long neck, small head with sharp teeth), it is assumed to follow a plesiosaurus-like diet. So it eats fish. A lot of fish.
It is spelled Plesiosaurus.

Nessie was a plesiosaurus. I should know I have a dinosaur encyclopedia.
It's very possible.
Icthyosaurs and plesiosaurs are referred to as marine reptiles. They were not closely related.
Tylosaurus Styxosaurus Elasmosaurus Platecarpus Mosasaurus Kronosaurus Liopleurodon Plesiosaurus
Some believe that Nessie is a Plesiosaurus, or a descendant of one.
a plesiosaurus is a dinosaur that lived millions of years ago. It had a very long neck and four flippers. It lived in the water eating fish and sometimes birds.
Plesiosaurus most likely was solitary. With the exception of marine mammals, there aren't any truly social aquatic creatures. Some fish swim in schools, but there is no social structure. Marine reptiles aren't even known to swim in groups, much less to have social interaction.
