Crab? Silly oaf does (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seafood

'crab?' is the definition.
(crab is a kind of seafood)

'silly oaf does' is the wordplay.
'silly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'oaf'+'does'='oafdoes'
'oafdoes' with letters rearranged gives 'SEAFOOD'.

(Other definitions for seafood that I've seen before include "Eaten fish and shellfish" , "Edible fish, shellfish etc from the oceans" , "The "surf" of a surf 'n' turf dish" , "Shellfish, marine fish" , "Such as prawns, tuna" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
