Contractor perhaps avoiding fish in European country (6)
I believe the answer is:
france
'european country' is the definition.
(country in Europe)
'contractor perhaps avoiding fish' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'perhaps' could be 'ance' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'ance' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for france that I've seen before include "Nice country!" , "Rouen's country" , "State" , "in E" , "One of the six original members of the European Economic Community" .)
