Fishy sounding location (5)
I believe the answer is:
place
'location' is the definition.
(a location is a place)
I don't understand the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for place that I've seen before include "Endearingly pretty" , "Spot" , "Put in - winning position" , "Venue" , "Location; put" .)
