I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'black bream' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'cruel kid played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates an anagram (letters playing around).
'cruel'+'kid'='cruelkid'
'cruelkid' is an anagram of 'LUDERICK'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
