Hold up fresh lobster (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bolster

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

'fresh lobster' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram.
'lobster' with letters rearranged gives 'BOLSTER'.

(Other definitions for bolster that I've seen before include "Shore up" , "Provide reinforcement" , "Prop up with long pillow" , "Extended pillow" , "Large pillow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
