River herring (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shad

'river herring' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for shad that I've seen before include "fish that's been caught" , "Herring-like fish" , "Fish; dash (anag.)" , "Fish related to the herring" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
