French fish giving up a small something found in fugu? (6)
I believe the answer is:
poison
'french fish' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both to do with contact as well as being verbs in their base form.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for poison that I've seen before include "I spoon up the lethal substance" , "Deadly substance" , "It causes illness or death in a living organism" , "[ADDER] 's defence" , "Eg, toxin" .)
