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

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

'do a small amount of fish shopping say shepherding small boy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'one' and 'one' is located in the answer.
'small' could be 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size) and 's' is located in the answer.
'amount' could be 'at' (at is a kind of amount) and 'at' is located in the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for get ones skates on that I've seen before include "prepare for Winter Olympics event?" , "Hurry" , "start cooking the fish" , "shift" .)
