Fish on left for show (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

portray

'show' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fish on left' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'ray' (ray is a kind of fish).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'left' becomes 'port' (left side of a ship - opposite of starboard).
'ray' put after 'port' is 'PORTRAY'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for portray that I've seen before include "Depict, present" , "Delineate" , "Play" , "Show" , "Use words to describe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
