archerfish

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

'tropical catch with spit' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'chef harris cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates an anagram (letters cooked into a new form).
'chef'+'harris'='chefharris'
'chefharris' with letters rearranged gives 'ARCHERFISH'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for archerfish that I've seen is " Swimmer".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
