Fish and chips cooked with lard (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pilchards

'fish' is the definition.
(type of fish)

'chips cooked with lard' is the wordplay.
'cooked with' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'chips' with its letters mixed up with 'lard' gives 'PILCHARDS'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Another definition for pilchards that I've seen is " Fish".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Telegraph.
