Crossword Genius

Fish and fruit only (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lemon sole

'fish' is the definition.
(I know that lemon sole is a type of sole)

'fruit only' is the wordplay.
'fruit' becomes 'lemon' (lemon is a kind of fruit).
'only' becomes 'sole' (synonyms).
'lemon'+'sole'='LEMON-SOLE'

'and' is the link.

(Other definitions for lemon sole that I've seen before include "Lose melon, find kind of plaice" , "swimmer" , "Another tasty flatfish like lone citrus fruit" , "fish to eat" , "Flatfish, valued as food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Telegraph and The Sun.
