Fishing dispute lowering demand initially for chicken (6)
I believe the answer is:
coward
'chicken' is the definition.
('coward' can be similar in meaning to 'chicken')
'fishing dispute lowering demand initially' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'dispute' could be 'war' and 'war' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'cod' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for coward that I've seen before include "Noel ..... composed musical 'Bitter Sweet'" , "Person who shows fear or timidity" , "writer and composer" , "Person lacking courage" , "Theatrical fellow" .)
