garish

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'flashy' is the first definition.
(I know that flashy can be written as garish)

'fishy?' is the second definition.
Both the answer and definition are adjectives. Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for garish that I've seen before include "Overly ostentatious" , "Obtrusively bright" , "Cheap, flash" , "Gaudy, lurid" , "Crudely bright" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
