Fruit served initially with fish (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shaddock

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

'fruit' is the definition.
(shaddock is a kind of fruit)

'served initially with fish' is the wordplay.
'served initially' becomes 'dock' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fish' becomes 'shad' (shad is a kind of fish).
'dock' put after 'shad' is 'SHADDOCK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shaddock that I've seen before include "Tropical fruit" , "Citrus fruit" , "tree" , "Pomelo" .)
