Girl spilled rum onto head of this fish (6,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salmon trout

'fish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'girl spilled rum onto head of this' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'sal' (feminine given name**).
'spilled' is an anagram indicator.
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'this' is 't'.
'rum'+'onto'='rumonto'
'rumonto' is an anagram of 'montrou'.
'sal'+'montrou'+'t'='SALMON-TROUT'

(Another definition for salmon trout that I've seen is " A fish prized by gourmets".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
