European ignored by pescetarian probing suitable candidate (9)
I believe the answer is:
applicant
'candidate' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for applicant that I've seen before include "Person attempting to get a job" , "someone wanting a job" , "Candidate for job" , "Job-seeker" , "one looking for a job" .)
