Dainty fish stew presents a problem! (1,6,6,2,4)
I believe the answer is:
a pretty kettle of fish
'dainty' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'fish stew presents a problem' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'stew' could be 'fish' (fish stew is a kind of stew) and 'fish' is located in the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
