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

'fare from japan' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'posh sons in boat cut' is the wordplay.
'posh' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for upper-class - opposite to non-U).
'sons' becomes 'ss' (s is abbreviation for son).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'boat cut' becomes 'hi' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'u' put inside 'ss' is 'sus'.
'sus'+'hi'='SUSHI'

(Other definitions for sushi that I've seen before include "Exotic food" , "Japanese vinegared rice dish" , "Raw fish dishes" , "Japanese rice-based dish" , "cold food" .)
