Firm German seafood (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cod

'seafood' is the definition.
(cod is a kind of seafood)

'firm german' is the wordplay.
'firm' becomes 'co' (a firm is a company).
'german' becomes 'd' (abbreviation for Deutschland ie Germany).
'co'+'d'='COD'

(Other definitions for cod that I've seen before include "Payment arrangement" , "Common food fish" , "Fish noted for liver oil" , "mock" , "catch!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
