Complimentary trout garçon lays out, taking seconds (14)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

congratulatory

'complimentary' is the definition.
(paying compliments or good wishes)

'trout garcon lays out taking seconds' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'garcon' is 'congra' which is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
