It's strange for a nut to taste of fish! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tuna

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

'fish' is the definition.
(tuna is a type of fish)

'it's strange for a nut to taste' is the wordplay.
'a nut' anagrams to 'TUNA'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tuna that I've seen before include "Species of fish" , "Popular food fish" , "Large salt water fish" , "Fish; edible cactus" , "Large tasty fish, fond of a nut" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
