Brace of fresh lobster (7)

I believe the answer is:

bolster

'brace' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'fresh lobster' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lobster' anagrammed gives 'BOLSTER'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for bolster that I've seen before include "Large pillow" , "Provide reinforcement" , "Shore up" , "Chisel - long cushion" , "Lobster (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph, The Globe and Mail and The Guardian.
