Baby's basket of fish with one fish-catcher (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bassinet

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

'baby's basket' is the definition.
'bassinet' can be an answer for 'basket' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'baby's' bit.

'fish with one fish-catcher' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'bassi' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'one fish-catcher' becomes 'net' (I've seen this before).
'bassi'+'net'='BASSINET'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bassinet that I've seen before include "Type of cradle" , "Baby's cradle or pram" , "Wicker cradle" , "Hooded basket for a baby" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
