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

'prey that's seen on seafood bar?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'identify black bird' is the wordplay.
'identify' becomes 'finger' (I've seen this before).
'black' becomes 'b' (abbreviation as in pencil classifications).
'bird' becomes 'owl' (owl is a kind of bird).
'finger'+'b'+'owl'='FINGERBOWL'

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fingerbowl that I've seen before include "there's water in this at meal" , "Restaurant offering" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
