Green brought back for stuffing fish and chicken (6)
I believe the answer is:
coward
'chicken' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'green brought back for stuffing fish' is the wordplay.
'green' becomes 'raw' (synonyms).
'brought back' says the letters should be written backwards.
'for stuffing' indicates putting letters inside.
'fish' becomes 'cod' (cod is a kind of fish).
'raw' written backwards gives 'war'.
'war' going within 'cod' is 'COWARD'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for coward that I've seen before include "Faint-hearted person" , "Yellow type" , "Noel . . . . . ., English playwright and actor" , "Noel -, twentieth-century actor, dramatist" , "Poltroon" .)
