Collected fish, need to pick up recipe (8)
I believe the answer is:
garnered
'collected' is the definition.
('garner' can be a synonym of 'collect')
'fish need to pick up recipe' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'gar' (gar is a kind of fish).
'to pick up' indicates putting letters inside.
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'need' enclosing 'r' is 'nered'.
'gar'+'nered'='GARNERED'
(Other definitions for garnered that I've seen before include "Collected ripened crops" , "Assembled, stored" , "Gathered or stored up" , "Gathered, collected" .)
