Crossword Genius

Nurse got boiled fish (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sturgeon

'fish' is the definition.
(sturgeon is a kind of fish)

'nurse got boiled' is the wordplay.
'boiled' is an anagram indicator.
'nurse'+'got'='nursegot'
'nursegot' anagrammed gives 'STURGEON'.

(Other definitions for sturgeon that I've seen before include "So urgent to find caviar-bearing fish" , "Source of caviar" , "So urgent to find caviare-bearing fish" , "Egg producer" , "Fish that yields caviare" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
