Coming from a shopping centre with fish (8)
I believe the answer is:
approach
'coming' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'a shopping centre with fish' is the wordplay.
'centre' says to take the centre.
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fish' becomes 'roach' (roach is a type of fish).
The central letters of 'shopping' are 'pp'.
'a'+'pp'+'roach'='APPROACH'
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for approach that I've seen before include "Come near or nearer to" , "Come closer" , "initial proposal" , "Come towards" , "Move towards" .)
