One fished out of the Solent? (4)
I believe the answer is:
sole
'one' is the definition.
(synonyms)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sole that I've seen before include "A lone flat fish?" , "A fish; part of shoe" , "swimmer" , "Lone; part of foot" , "Exclusive class of fish" .)
