Pacific salmon marinated in alcohol (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coho

'pacific salmon' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'marinated in alcohol' is the wordplay.
'marinated in' indicates a hidden word.
'COHO' can be found hidden inside 'alcohol'.

(Other definitions for coho that I've seen before include "Small north Pacific salmon" , "Fish" .)
