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

'wharf's landing place' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'aye squid swimming' is the wordplay.
'swimming' indicates anagramming the letters (letters swim around into a new order).
'aye'+'squid'='ayesquid'
'ayesquid' with letters rearranged gives 'QUAYSIDE'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quayside that I've seen before include "Area near a wharf" , "Area adjoining a wharf" , "Edge of wharf" , "Wharf and its surrounds" , "where loads are lightened" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
