Cured fish, apparently very filling (7)
I believe the answer is:
bloater
'fish apparently very filling' is the definition.
'bloater' can be an answer for 'fish' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'apparently very filling' bit.
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bloater that I've seen before include "Buckling" , "food" , "Herring salted and smoked" , "Cured herring" , "Partially dried herring" .)
