Fish stank (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

smelt

This clue is a double definition.

'fish' is the first definition.
(smelt is a kind of fish)

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

(Other definitions for smelt that I've seen before include "sensed as fishy?" , "Savoured" , "were high" , "emitted noxious effluvium" , "Got a whiff of" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Hindu.
