He gets a fish for curing (7)

I believe the answer is:

healing

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

'curing' is the definition.
('heal' can be a synonym of 'cure')

'he gets a fish for' is the wordplay.
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'fish for' becomes 'ling' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'he'+'a'+'ling'='HEALING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for healing that I've seen before include "Mending" , "Recovering, becoming healthy" , "curing" , "Getting better" , "Restoring to health" .)
