I believe the answer is:

roe

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

'fish delicacy' is the definition.
'roe' can be an answer for 'fish' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'delicacy' bit.

'items from tiresome' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'tiresome' with 'items' removed is 'ROE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roe that I've seen before include "Caviar" , "shy animal" , "Food from fish" , "eg Caviare" , "Fish eggs; small deer" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
