Curry was one using fish and rice for starter (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

skater

'curry was one' is the definition.
(John Curry was a figure skater)

'fish and rice for starter' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'skate' (skate is a kind of fish).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'for starter' indicates taking the first letters (I've seen 'for starters' mean this).
The initial letter of 'rice' is 'r'.
'skate'+'r'='SKATER'

'using' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for skater that I've seen before include "Glider on ice" , "Winter sports person" , "Athlete on blades" , "Person sliding over ice" , "One using blades (or rollers?)" .)
