Crossword Genius

Fish or game? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sardines

This clue is a double definition.

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

'game?' is the second definition.
(sardines is a hiding game)

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sardines that I've seen before include "Small fish, usually canned" , "Squash-together party game" , "Cumulative hiding game" , "Aridness of small fish" , "Children's game - fish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
