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

'fish' is the definition.
(I know that plaice is a type of fish)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for plaice that I've seen before include "Position the fish, we hear" , "Large flat fish" , "Location of the fish" , "Tasty flatfish I place here" , "Flat fare" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
