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

'fish' is the definition.
(I know that plaice is a type of fish)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

(Other definitions for plaice that I've seen before include "A fish; sounds like put" , "Brown flatfish" , "Position the fish, we hear" , "A succulent flat-fish" , "Edible flatfish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
