Pacific salmon marinated in alcohol (4)
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" .)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
