Fine and kinda sorta brill, maybe (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sorta brill maybe' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'fine and kinda' is the wordplay.
'fine' becomes 'f' (abbreviation in pencil classifications).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'kinda' becomes 'ish' (I've seen this in another clue).
'f'+'ish'='FISH'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fish that I've seen before include "Aquatic creature(s)" , "Swimmer" , "- - and chips" , "Eg, sturgeon" , "occupant of tank" .)
