This could be a double definition.

'fishy looking' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'singer' is the second definition.
(I know that bass is a type of singer)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bass that I've seen before include "Variety of sea and freshwater perch" , "Deep-voiced male singer" , "Fish (which sings?)" , "A fish, or the lowest pitch in music" , "Low fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
