Greedily eying flipping game fish (6)

I believe the answer is:

ogling

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

'greedily eying' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'flipping game fish' is the wordplay.
'flipping' is a reversal indicator.
'game' becomes 'go' (go is a board game).
'fish' becomes 'ling' (ling is a kind of fish).
'go' back-to-front is 'og'.
'og'+'ling'='OGLING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ogling that I've seen before include "Eyeing greedily" , "Looking lecherously" , "Leering" , "Eyeing lasciviously" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
