Childminder again skinned Australian fish (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nannygai

'australian fish' is the definition.
(type of fish)

'childminder again skinned' is the wordplay.
'childminder' becomes 'nanny' (someone who looks after children).
'skinned' indicates the central letters.
The middle letters of 'again' are 'gai'.
'nanny'+'gai'='NANNYGAI'
