Find fault with the fish (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

carp

This clue is a double definition.

'find fault' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'fish' is the second definition.
(carp is a kind of fish)

'with the' is the link.

(Other definitions for carp that I've seen before include "Continually nag; fish" , "Fish; nag pettily" , "Cavil - fish" , "Raise petty objections about goldfish" , "Fish; find fault continually" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and the Sydney Morning Herald.
