Cold fish on shoot gets a wrap? (9)

I believe the answer is:

clingfilm

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

'a wrap?' is the definition.

'cold fish on shoot' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'fish on' becomes 'ling' (ling is a kind of fish. I am not sure about the 'on' bit.**).
'shoot' becomes 'film' ('film' can be a synonym of 'shoot').
'c'+'ling'+'film'='CLINGFILM'

'gets' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for clingfilm that I've seen before include "Transparent wrapping material for food" , "Thin transparent plastic wrap" , "Sticky wrapper" , "Thin plastic wrap for food" , "Plastic wrapping" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
